    Covid-19 Vaccine: The countdown to the use of the Corona vaccine has started in the country. The Expert Committee of the Central Drug Standards Control Organization (CDSCO) will review the applications of Pfizer, Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotak on Wednesday, December 9. These three companies have sought approval for emergency use of Corona vaccine developed by themselves in India. Now everyone’s eyes are on the committee’s review.
