The world’s first made-in-India intranasal Covid-19 vaccine iNCOVACC, manufactured by Bharat Biotech, was launched on Thursday as the country marked its 74th Republic Day. Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya launched the vaccine and emphasised India’s vaccine manufacturing and innovation capability, which he said is appreciated all over the world. “As the world’s first intranasal Covid-19 vaccine, this is a glorious tribute to the call for Atma Nirbhar Bharat (self-sufficiency in India),” Mandaviya said at the launch. Bharat Biotech said it is intended for low-and middle-income countries.
