Ella misleads again "12yrs & above we have already done a trial"

Facts: There are data for 14 kids in age grp of 12-18 yrs from the Phase 2 trial of COVAXIN

Phase 3 enrolled only 18yrs & above

Ella thinks safety/immunogenicity data for 14 kids is sufficient for use in 12yrs+ https://twitter.com/IndiaToday/status/1349367274549825538
This is @SuchitraElla on 30 December, 3 days before COVAXIN received approval saying that no where in the world has a vaccine been tested in children.

She believed it would be used only in adults
SEC recommended granting approval to the vaccine on 2 Jan.

DCGI granted the permission on 3 Jan 2021 with indicated use as "for active immunization against Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) for age >=12 years..."

On 31 Oct, Raches Ella (COVAXIN project lead) said that neither he nor @BharatBiotech believes in emergency use authorisation for COVAXIN after Phase 2 results & that they were doing Phase 3 to study clinical outcomes
