Which Indian organization developed the world's first DNA vaccine for COVID-19, known as ZyCoV-D?
Zydus Cadila
ZyCoV-D was developed by Zydus Cadila (now Zydus Lifesciences) of Ahmedabad and received emergency use approval in August 2021.
It is a plasmid DNA vaccine, the world's first DNA vaccine for COVID-19, given in three doses through a needle-free injector.
Bharat Biotech developed Covaxin (an inactivated-virus vaccine) with ICMR, and DRDO developed the drug 2-DG, not a DNA vaccine.
Hence, Zydus Cadila.
