New Delhi: Bharat Biotech has disclaimed a social media image of the company’s vice president, Dr VK Srinivas, being injected with a COVID-19 vaccine.
The company clarified that the image was that of a routine test for all employees.
“Certain images and messages being circulated on WhatsApp and other social media platforms have NOT been disseminated by Bharat Biotech. The image being circulated is a routine procedural blood draw for testing all production staff,” a Biotech statement said on Friday.
