Telangana To Develop World’s First Vaccine: KTR

The state of Telangana might be the first to develop the vaccine for coronavirus as IT and municipal minister KTR believes that vaccines will soon be developed by scientists from the Genome Valley in Hyderabad.

KTR recently had visited Bharat Biotech facility at Genome Valley to participate in ‘The Vaccine Race – Balancing Science and Urgency’. He said that the state was proud that Bharat Biotech was a frontrunner in developing vaccines for Covid-19.

KTR assured all vaccine manufacturers that Telangana State will champion the cause of decentralization, funding and becoming flexible in terms of regulations, by advocating their voices with the Central government.

He also believed that it requires the state to conduct more tests, distribution, administration and clinical monitoring of the vaccine.

“Hyderabad’s life science ecosystem has truly fortified its position and shown its strength to the world not only from our pharmaceutical sector but also biotechnology and vaccine manufacturing,” he said.

In the discussion, he ensured the support of the state government to encourage the pharma and research industries to strive hard for the development of the vaccine soon.
