Dr Ella told CNBC-TV18 in an interview. Six experts News18.com spoke to agreed.

These experts include two officials from public sector units that have been given contracts to manufacture Covaxin, an official from one of the top private vaccine makers in India, a former chief of a major vaccine producer who is now a consultant, a scientist working mainly on vaccines and biological products apart from a source from Bharat Biotech. All of them spoke to News18.com on condition of anonymity.

According to experts, the number of steps to manufacture a vaccine with inactivated virus is much more than ones carried out for adenovirus vector-based vaccines. Covaxin falls in the former category and Covishield in the latter.

Whole inactivated virus vaccine produced in vero cells is a very complex manufacturing process, involving several steps with high degree of complexity,” he said.
