The Russian vaccine Sputnik V, named after the Soviet era satellite Sputnik, got the nod from India’s Covid-19 vaccine expert panel on Monday. However, more data has been sought from its Indian partner Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL) by the expert panel, which is expected by July.
 
“The firm presented the data from only 72 Russian volunteers and around 275 or so Indian volunteers. We have sought more data from it. DRL has promised to come back with this data by July or so,” said an expert on the panel.
 
The person added that there were no safety-related concerns
