India is likely to get its first vaccine for dengue soon as the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is all set to submit its clinical trial protocol to the country's drug regulator CDSCO by June. Moreover, the vaccine's phase-3 trials are expected to begin by October. ICMR is also in the process of roping in two pharmaceutical companies to manufacture the vaccine.
