” Covaxin or Covishied”
The second wave of Covid-19 affected drastically and the phases of Covid-19 vaccination drive has begun already,but many people are still unaware of how the two vaccines Covaxin-Covishield are different from each other and myths about it’s use. Covaxin has been developed by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech International Ltd in association with the ICMR and National Institute of Virology (NIV).
Covishield has been developed by the Oxford-Astrazeneca and is being manufactured by the Serum Institute of India(SII).
Covaxin is an inactivated vaccine,which has been prepared on a tried and tested platform of the dead viruses.The vaccine is developed with whole-virion inactivated Viro cell-derived technology.They contain inactivated viruses,which can’t infect person but still can teach the immune system to prepare a defence mechanism against the active viruses.
Covishield has been prepared using the viral vector platform which is totally different technology.A Chimpanzee adenovirus-ChAOx1 has been modified to enable it to carry the covid-19 spike protein into the cells of humans.
This cold virus is basically incapable of infecting the receiver but can very well teach the immune system to prepare a mechanism against such viruses.The exact technology was used to prepare vaccines for viruses like Ebola.
Doses:-
There is no difference in terms of dosage.Both of them follow a two-dose regimen, administered 28days apart.
Efficiency:-Both Vaccines have shown more than satisfactory results ever since the inoculation started in our country.
Side Effects:-After injecting the vaccine,you may experience the pain at the site of injection,some people also experience headache,joint pain,may feel feverish.These don’t persist for long and generally goes within a day or two.
Don’t go for myths of social media and vaccinate yourself as it’s second wave crisis in our country and very drastic it’s.
It’s better to be vaccinated than sit on ventilator and as usual wear mask (N-95 mostly),wash hands regularly, maintain physical distance,don’t feel anxieties till we break covid-19 crisis well.
