New Delhi: Dr Reddy's Laboratories on Monday (July 12, 2021) issued a clarification and said that the soft launch of COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V has not been put on hold. The Hyderabad-based company said that neither the ongoing soft commercial launch nor work towards its ramp-up in India has been put on hold.

It also informed that the nationwide soft launch of Sputnik V has reached over 50 cities and towns across the country and said that it will strengthen the commercial roll-out of the Russian vaccine in the coming weeks.

Dr Reddy's Laboratories said that starting initially in Hyderabad, the soft launch roll-out of Sputnik V has now scaled up speedily and reached several Indian cities. 

"Dr Reddy's has partnered with major hospitals across the country for this purpose, all of whom have successfully administered Sputnik V in India, including ongoing commercial roll-out to the public," the statement added.

Dr Reddy's clarification came amid reports that Sputnik V second dose shortage will delay the commercial roll-out

This is to be noted that under the soft launch, the company has reportedly administered more than 1.95 lakh doses at hospitals across India. The company, which was originally planning a full roll-out in mid-June, is reported to have so far received about 30 lakh first doses and 3.60 lakh second doses.
