As per an agreement, AstraZeneca will start producing the vaccine in the first quarter of 021. It is expected to be made available post the first couple months of 2021, given a successful completion of clinical trials.

The same design of trials will begin in India since the apex drug controller has granted approval for this vaccine to conduct trials in India.
