It would be helpful to note that Ocugen has abandoned its attempt to obtain approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use Covaxin urgently. Instead, the company is seeking approval to commercialize the vaccine for routine mass vaccination. Even though this will take additional time, it may prove to be more profitable over the long run since there are already so many emergency vaccinations from so many manufacturers.
Covaxin will first be brought to the US and Canadian markets by Ocugen – an application for approval is currently being prepared. Bharat Biotech was the company originally responsible for developing Covaxin. Bharat Biotech and Ocugen signed an agreement in February that entitles Ocugen to 45 percent of its North American sales revenue.
Nonetheless, it must be remembered that profits from Covaxin may not come into being until as early as 2022 if approved and mass production begins. In addition, according to the results of Ocugen Inc. (OCGN) for the first quarter, the company only had $ 45 million in cash and equivalents, which indicated that it might require additional funding.
