Amid the rising number of coronavirus cases in India, the Union Health Ministry has reportedly made some relaxations to the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, which could help speed up the development of a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as make suitable vaccines available to meet emergency needs caused by the pandemic. The move is likely to help Indian pharmaceutical firms develop a COVID-19 vaccine and get it to the market faster.
