67-year old Vij was administered the trial dose at the Civil Hospital at Ambala Cantt.

On Wednesday, Vij had said the third phase of trial will begin in Haryana on Nov 20.

Covaxin, a potential vaccine against Covid, entered third phase of clinical trial.

Covaxin is being developed indigenously by Bharat Biotech in collaboration with ICMR. Last month, the vaccine maker said it had completed interim analysis of Phase 1, 2 trials.
