Zydus Cadila's ZyCoV-D vaccine against Covid-19 will soon be a part of India's mass inoculation drive, Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan announced, adding that talks were underway with the manufacturer on pricing issues.

Addressing a press briefing on the Covid-19 situation across the country, Bhushan said the price of the jab, which is needle-less and requires three doses, would be different from the existing vaccines.
