Amid reports of India’s Covid-19 vaccine given a green signal for human trials, an office bearer of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) has offered himself for it.

VHP joint general secretary Surendra Jain has written in this regard to the vice chancellor of Pt Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University of health sciences in Rohtak.

Pt Bhagwat Dayal Sharma University is one of the hospitals whose head was written a letter by ICMR DG Balram Bhargava to begin human clinical trials for a COVID-19 vaccine.

Offering himself for the human trial, Jain wrote, “I will be ready, whenever you call me for these trials.”

The vaccine is being developed jointly by Bharat Biotech and ICMR.

Bhargava wrote in a letter informing about the clinical trials to heads of King George College, Vishakapatnam; Pt BD Sharma PGIMS University of Health Sciences, Rohtak, and AIIMS New Delhi Director Randeep Guleria.
