  • 28Th WHO Regulatory Update on COVID-19
    28th WHO Regulatory Update on COVID-19 05 February 2021 Key Messages Vaccines are giving us a window of opportunity to bring the pandemic under control. The number of vaccinations globally has now overtaken the number of reported infections. But more than three quarters of those vaccinations are in just 10 countries while around 130 countries, with 2.5 billion people, are yet to start their first vaccination. WHO encourages COVID vaccine manufacturers to share their dossiers with WHO faster and more fully for assessment of emergency use listing. Highlights and main issues • WHO has been tracking virus variants since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak. With the emergence of new variants of concern, these efforts have been stepped-up to set up systems to quickly identify and study emerging variants. • WHO is working with relevant stakeholders on a common naming system for variants. The aim is to name variants that have potential impact on severity, on transmission and any that have any impact on diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines. • On 3 February, COVAX has published an interim distribution forecast to provide information on early projected availability of doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine in Q1 2021 and the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine candidate in first half 2021 to COVAX Facility participants. • On 29 January 201, the EU granted a conditional marketing authorisation, based on a recommendation from the EMA, for the AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in people from 18 years of age. • The WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on Immunization has issued interim recommendations for use of the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine against COVID-19 in people aged 18 years and older.

  • Bharat Biotech Inks Licensing Deal with Washington University School of Medicine in St
    Bharat Biotech Inks Licensing Deal with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis to advance COVID-19 Intranasal Vaccine Technology Hyderabad, India, 23 September 2020: Vaccine Innovator, Bharat Biotech announces today, a licensing agreement with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis for a novel chimp- adenovirus, single dose intranasal vaccine for COVID-19. Bharat Biotech owns the rights to distribute the vaccine in all markets except USA, Japan and Europe. While the Phase I trials will take place in Saint Louis University’s Vaccine & Treatment Evaluation Unit, Bharat Biotech, upon obtaining the required regulatory approval, will pursue further stages of clinical trials in India and undertake large scale manufacture of the vaccine at its GMP facility located in Genome Valley, Hyderabad. We are proud to collaborate on this innovative vaccine. We envision that we will scale this vaccine to 1 billion doses, translating to 1 billion individuals vaccinated receiving a single-dose regimen. An intranasal vaccine will not only be simple to administer but reduce the use of medical consumables such as needles, syringes, etc., significantly impacting the overall cost of a vaccination drive. Our experience in viral vaccines, manufacturing capabilities, and distribution continue to be our strong suit in ensuring safe, efficacious, and affordable vaccines. It is prudent for Bharat to be involved in diverse but tenable projects to provide a much-needed vaccine against COVID-19 reaches all citizens of the world.” Dr. Krishna Ella, Chairman and Managing Director of Bharat Biotech, stated. This intranasal vaccine candidate has shown unprecedented levels of protection in mice studies; the technology and data having been recently published in the prestigious scientific journal Cell and in an editorial in Nature.

  • India's Dna Covid Vaccine Is a First — More Are Coming
    in the vaccinated group and 60 among people who received a placebo. ZyCoV-D contains circular strands of DNA known as plasmids, which encode the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, together with a pro- moter sequence for turning the gene on. Once the plasmids enter the nuclei of cells, they are converted into mRNA, which travels to the main body of the cell, the cytoplasm, and is translated into the spike protein itself. The body’s immune system then mounts a response against the protein, and produces tailored immune cells that can clear future infections. Plasmids typically degrade within weeks to months, but the immunity remains. Both DNA and mRNA vaccines have been under development since the 1990s, says Weiner. The challenge for DNA vaccines is that they need to make it all the way to the cell nucleus, unlike mRNA vaccines, which just need to get to the cytoplasm, says Jameel.

Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 or coronavirus disease 2019 and the same has been declared as a global pandemic by WHO which marked the third introduction of a virulent coronavirus into human society. This a threat to human life worldwide. Considerable efforts have been made for developing effective and safe drugs and vaccines against is a highly pathogenic human coronavirus in which pneumonia of unknown origin was identified in China in December 2019 and is SARS-CoV-2. The current situation and progress in the development of various therapeutic candidates including vaccines in preclini- cal and clinical studies have been described in the manuscript. Until now, many people have been infected with this lethal virus, and a lot of people have died from this COVID-19. This viral disease spreads by coming in contact with an infected person. Understand- ing of SARS-CoV-2 is growing in relation to its epidemiology, virology, and clinical management strategies. Till date, very few drugs or vaccines have been developed or approved for the treatment of this deadly disease of COVID-19 and many candidates are under the clinical development pipeline.

    9 July 2021 Free to View Asia COVID-19 & Vaccine Tracker Economics - Asia Tougher restrictions As COVID-19 cases continue to surge across Asia, more Yun Liu authorities have re-imposed restrictions or even lockdowns Economist The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited But this has increased the urgency to ramp up vaccine Frederic Neumann procurement and roll-out in the region Co-Head of Asian Economics Research The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited Some economies have started pilot programmes to revive tourism, but a full re-opening may take a long time Maitreyi Das Associate Bangalore Déjà vu No end in sight just yet. The Delta variant is causing daily new COVID-19 cases to surge to new record highs across Asia, prompting more governments to re-impose tougher restrictions. This is particularly evident in ASEAN, where cases in Indonesia and Vietnam have been rising sharply. The former has extended its tightening measures throughout the country until 20 July, while the latter will impose a strict lockdown in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) from 9 July for 15 days. Meanwhile, just two weeks before the Tokyo Olympics, Japan is set to declare its fourth state of emergency in Tokyo from 12 July to 20 August, raising the possibility of no spectators attending the games. Meanwhile, Singapore is the only country that has decided to ease its social restrictions from 12 July, as new cases remain low. Urgency on vaccination The recent outbreaks in the region has alerted the authorities that the key to exiting the pandemic is to accelerate vaccine procurement and roll-out.
