A day before Covid vaccine booster shots become available to all Indian adults, the prices of Covaxin and Covishield vaccine have been slashed by more than half on Saturday.

The Covid vaccines (Covaxin and Covishield) will be available at Clinics and Hospitals for sale, as per the latest approval given by the DCGI.

The focus of this research is to see if a person can complete the immunisation course by receiving two distinct vaccine doses, one of Covishield and one of Covaxin. 

India plans to test a combination of its own Covid-19 vaccine, Covaxin, and a prospective intranasal vaccine developed by US researchers, in the hopes of boosting the two vaccines' protective effectiveness against the virus.

The advisory committee “National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation” (NTAGI), recommended that those people who have recovered from Covid-19 should take vaccine after 6 months.

The gap between two doses of Covishield vaccine should be increased to 12-16 weeks, a Central Government panel has recommended on Thursday.

NBTC has revised the criteria for blood donation as per the international standard. Now, people can donate blood after 14 days of any of the vaccine jabs.
