The meeting happened before Bharat Biotech's pre-submission meeting on Wednesday with the World Health Organization (WHO), for the approval for their Covid vaccine 'Covaxin'.

Covaxin is one of the three vaccines which are currently being used in India. The phase III data of its vaccine has been questioned various times and this is what makes the data that ascertains the efficacy of the vaccine crucial.

The vaccine has been developed by the company in association with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).

Bharat Biotech had in May informed that an emergency use listing (EUL) application had been submitted to WHO, with regulatory approvals expected between July and September.
