Hyderabad, Feb 21 Vaccine manufacturer Biological E. Ltd on Monday announced that its Covid-19 vaccine Corbevax has received emergency use authorisation (EUA) from India's drug regulator for the 12 to 18-year age group.According to the Hyderabad-based firm, Corbevax is India's first indigenously developed Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) protein sub-unit vaccine against Covid-19.The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) had already approved Corbevax for restricted use in emergency situation among adults on December 28, 2019. BE received the approval for restricted use in an emergency situation in adolescents aged 12 to less than 18 years based on interim results (of the ongoing phase 2/3 clinical study).Biological E. Managing Director Mahima Datla said that the development would help extend the reach of the vaccine to the age group of 12 to 18 years.
