A vaccine web portal and National Clinical Registry for COVID-19 from ICMR was launched by Dr Harsh Vadhan, Minister of Health and Family Welfare Minister.
This portal will have all information about COVID-19 vaccine development in India and data linked to COVID-19 vaccine from the World Health Organisation (WHO). This portal will gather and disseminate real-time clinical data for clinical practice and research as well as for policymaking.
At present, there are three vaccines undergoing clinical trials in India for COVID-19.
Dr Vardhan also released the ICMR history timeline which portrays its 108-year journey with key milestones and interventions.
