As per the deal, the vaccines doses will be manufactured and stockpiled by the manufacturer from August-December 2021. The Union Ministry of Health would be making an advance payment of Rs 1,500 crore to the firm.

Currently, the vaccine of Biological-E is undergoing Phase-3 clinical trial. The vaccine being developed by Biological-E is a RBD protein sub-unit vaccine and is likely to be available in the next few months, the statement read.
