Serum Institute resumes clinical trials of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Dr. V G Somani, the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI), provided authorization of testing a COVID-19 candidate and continuing the paused clinical trial of the Oxford COVID-19 vaccine in the country after rescinding the premature order of suspending any new recruitment for phase two and three trial cases in the Serum Institute of India (SII).

They also recommended SII to follow scrupulously.
DCGI has asked SII to submit the medication details for the supervision of antagonistic effects. SII was also instructed on September 11 to suspend any new recruitment of phase two and three clinical trials of COVID-19 test cases until further orders in the backdrop of pharma giant AstraZeneca pausing the clinical trials in other countries because of illness faced by every participant in the study case.
Test resumes in the UK
After confirmation that the trials were safe by Medicines Health Regulatory Authority (MHRA), the British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant Astra-Zeneca and Oxford University said the clinical trials for COVID-19 pandemics have resumed in the United Kingdom (UK).
