Preparations for the next sero survey completed: Dr. VK Paul

ICMR will start work for the next sero survey this month. He said that if we want to protect our geographical areas, then relying only on a national serosurvey will not work, we have to encourage the states also to do serosurvey. At the same time, Dr. Paul said that there may be some similarities and some differences in the regulatory system of every country for not getting permission for emergency use of Bharat Bioket's anti-corona vaccine by USFDA (US Food and Drug Administration).

Our production capacity is strong. Dr. Paul said that we expect our producers to respect it too. This is not going to have any effect on our program. Our regulator has allowed it.
