ZyCoV-D is India's first indigenously developed plasma DNA vaccine against COVID-19.
ZyCoV-D is the world's first Plasmid DNA Vaccine authorized for COVID-19.
The ZyCoV-D vaccine was developed by Zydus Cadila using a non-replicating and non-integrating plasmid carrying the novel coronavirus gene and approved by the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to conduct late-stage clinical trials.
Being a plasmid DNA vaccine, ZyCoV-D doesn't display vector-based immunity concerns.
