Mix And Match Of Covishield-Covaxin Gives Better Results :ICMR
ICMR has said that a mix and match of vaccines Covishield and Covaxin is safe and can yeild better results against Covid-19.
“Immunization with combination of an adenovirus vector platform-based vaccine followed by inactivated whole virus vaccine was not only safe but also elicited better immunogenicity”, The study was conducted between May and June this year in Uttar Pradesh.
Such mixed regimens will also help to overcome the challenges of shortfall of particular vaccines and remove hesitancy around vaccines in people’s mind that could have genesis in programmatic ‘errors’ especially in settings where multiple Covid-19 vaccines are being used,”
The only problem can be for Traveller’s abroad as the US’s Centre for Disease Control (CDC),doesn’t does not currently recognise a mix of a vector vaccine, such as AstraZeneca, with an mRNA vaccine, such as Pfizer or Moderna, as fully vaccinated. So considering Indian Mix & Match Vaccines is out of question.
