Israel’s bio institute chief says regulation slowing down vaccine development
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of the Defense Ministry’s Institute for Biological Research gripes that regulation is slowing down testing on the COVID-19 vaccine that it’s developing.
Prof. Shmuel Shapira tells a Knesset committee that the institute finished stage trials five days ago and is set to begin stage 2 trials within the next 10 days.
“If we hadn’t encountered excess regulation, we would’ve progressed more. We were meant to be in the third stage already and now we’ll only reach it in April,” he’s quoted saying in a statement from the Knesset.
