Former Tennis player Jimmy Connors urges U.S. to approve India made Covaxin

American Tennis legend Jimmy Connors on Friday urged the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve India's indigenously developed COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin for the country’s vaccination program. The US is yet to green light the Indian vaccine despite it being granted emergency-use listing (EUL) by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The Eight-time Grand Slam Champion took to Twitter to raise the question as to why Covaxin has not been given a chance in the United States, although several other vaccines have been made available.
