Covishield Vaccine: On one hand, the side effects of Corona vaccine are being discussed in the world. There is fear in the minds of those getting this vaccine. Meanwhile, British company AstraZeneca, which manufactures Corona vaccine, has made a big announcement. It has recalled its Covid-19 vaccine Vaxjaveria from all over the world. In such a situation, questions are being raised about Corona vaccine in India too whether Covishield will return here too. Let us know the answer from Serum Institute itself…
Will Covishield return to India?
AstraZeneca has recalled its Covid 19 vaccine. Vaxjaveria vaccine will now be returned from all over the world. Covishield vaccine, made under license from AstraZeneca, was administered in the country to protect people from Corona. Covishield is also made on the same formula as Vaxjaveria vaccine. However, no decision has been taken yet regarding the withdrawal of this vaccine in India.
What is the statement of Serum Institute?
Serum Institute of India (SII) spokesperson said, ‘We completely understand the concerns of the people. Our focus is on transparency and safety. Our company had disclosed rare side effects such as thrombocytopenia syndrome and thrombosis in the 2021 packaging. Many challenges emerged during the Corona epidemic, despite this, the safety of the vaccine is the first priority. Serum Institute has completely stopped manufacturing and supplying extra doses of Covishield from December 2021 after the demand for previous vaccines decreased.
Why did AstraZeneca recall the vaccine?
British company AstraZeneca claims that an updated version of the vaccine is available, hence the old stock of the vaccine is being recalled. A report has revealed that the company had decided to recall the vaccine Vaxzervariya on March 5 itself, but the order came on May 7. In fact, this decision of the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca came when the company itself admitted that some side effects of its vaccine were coming in the form of thrombosis thrombocytopenia syndrome disease, in which blood clotting occurs.
