On Wednesday, Ocugen’s turbulent week continued as the stock dropped by 3.86% to close the trading day at $11.21, after trading as high as $13.65 last Friday.

Ocugen officially obtained the rights to sell the COVID-19 vaccine, Covaxin, in the United States. To be clear, Ocugen does not actually produce Covaxin, but it owns the rights to sell it. The vaccine is actually produced by Indian company Bharat Biotech which has partnered with Ocugen to facilitate sales in the U.S. market. Covaxin still needs to receive EUA or Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA, before it can officially begin to sell the vaccine. The U.S. has had one of the most efficient vaccine rollouts in the world and investors have to wonder if Covaxin is late to the game as Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) have dominated so far.

The clinical studies for Covaxin were conducted in India and had an impressive 100% efficacy against severe COVID-19 cases. While the initial round of vaccinations have largely been spoken for, there has been discussion about the COVID-19 vaccination becoming an annual dose, which could open the door for companies like Ocugen to have future opportunities.
