The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) was about to begin first round of testing of Covaxin from July 7 and had identified 12 clinical trial sites of medical institutions and hospitals for conducting the Phase I & II human clinical trials. However, most of the hospitals failed to enroll patients for trial. Many centres including the AIIMS are waiting for a clearance from the ethics committee to begin enrollment.
