covaxin and covishield: Are mixed doses of covaxin and covishield safe and effective? ICMR research front

New Delhi: What happens if a person has been vaccinated with covacin vaccine first and then given a second dose of covaxin and covishield? Is it safe to give two different doses? Such questions are being presented. ICMR has done a research on this. A dose of a mixture of two vaccines is safe. It also builds up better immunity, the ICMR said in the research.

The recommendation was made in July by a committee of experts

Doses of the vaccines Covishield and Covacin provide better protection against corona infection. ICMR conducted research on vaccine mixing (one-dose of two different vaccines) and matching. The results of this research have been very positive. A panel of experts from the Drug Controller General of India had recommended research on mixed doses of Covacin and Covishield vaccines.

Can a person be given two different doses of vaccine? This was studied. Can a person be given different doses of covishield and covacin to complete the course of vaccination? For this, it was recommended to allow the Central Drug Standards Control Organization (CDSCO) for the fourth phase clinical trial. 300 health workers were involved in the test.

In Siddharthnagar district of Uttar Pradesh, some citizens were mistakenly given the first dose of Covishield vaccine and the second dose of Covacin during vaccination in May this year. This had created fear among the vaccinated citizens. But even after taking mixed doses of vaccines, no citizen has developed health problems.
