Could Ocugen $OCGN be the next Covid-mutation play?

Ocugen has inked a partnership with India’s vaccine manufacturer Bharat Biotech to distribute its Covaxin vaccinations in the United States, of which revenue, it shall earn a 45% royalty.

How is Covaxin different from all the other vaccines in the US?

Enter Covid mutations - the theory that covid-mutations may render existing vaccinations obsolete to an enhanced and more effective virus have been gernering a lot of media attention oflate.

Covaxin plays an important role here because it is (through certain clinical trials), assumed to be one of the few vaccines to show a high defence to current and future mutations of the virus.

Here over the next week, possibly Monday. interim Phase 3 II data will potentially be released for Covaxin and an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) application will shortly follow for the USA from OCGN. ( Major Catalyst )

If you take a look at when Phase 3 Interim II results came out for Pfizer’s vaccine they were only about a month apart.
