India’s vaccine for Omicron could be ready in a month or two: Source

India’s Gennova Biopharmaceuticals is working on an Omicron-specific COVID-19 vaccine candidate that could be ready within a month or two, a person with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

The source, who asked not to be named, said the product may require small trials in India before it can be launched as a booster or stand-alone vaccine.

Representatives for Gennova, a subsidiary of drugmaker Emcure Pharmaceuticals, which operates in about 70 countries, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pfizer Inc said last week that a redesigned COVID-19 vaccine specifically targeting a variant of the Omicron coronavirus could be ready for launch in March.

Gennova separately submitted data from a phase 2 trial of its original mRNA vaccine candidate to India’s drug regulator on Friday, the sources said. The government said last year that the product was found to be “safe, tolerable and immunogenic” among participants in a pilot study.

“Fortunately, injuries didn’t affect the spine.” Saif Ali Khan receives 10 stitches for a serious stab wound sustained during the home burglary.

Actor Saif Ali Khan’s house in Bandra, Mumbai was a target for an attempted robbery during the early hours of Thursday morning. The actor was stabbed during the incident and had to urgently be taken to Lilavati hospital and undergo surgery. Now, we have received more updates on it.

We have learnt from sources at the hospital that one of the injuries was quite deep and the actor has received 10 stitches for this stab. The source says, “Fortunately, it has not affected the spine. He was very lucky that the stabs have not affected any of his vital organs. It appears to have been attacked by a knife and he was actually thwarting a robbery attempt.”

The source adds, “Of the six injuries that Saif has suffered, two injuries are deep, two are mid and two are superficial.”

Coincidentally, at the reported time of the robbery, Saif’s wife Kareena Kapoor Khan has put up an Insta story of a girls night in with her friends Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, and sister Karisma Kapoor. It had led to speculations that she was probably not at home during the time of burglary. However her team has released a statement saying, “All members of the household were present at home at the time of the unfortunate incident.”

As per recent reports, three suspects have been detained by the Bandra Police in the case.
