Corona Virus Vaccine Launched | Latest Update – 2020 | Covid-19 Vaccine to Roll-out Soon

The invention of a vaccine to fight the Corona Virus has come up as a relief for the entire world as it can save millions of lives worldwide, including the US, which recorded more than 332K fatalities until now due to COVID-19.

The process of rolling-out the vaccine Covid-19 has already begun and will be globally intensified in the next few days. India played a significant role in distributing the vaccine to several countries.

The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) is likely to approve the Oxford vaccine Covishield. As per the latest Coronavirus Vaccine Update, Covaxin, prepare by Bharat Biotech. The third phase of the trial or final phase of Covaxin testing is to start soon.

Going by this trend, Covishield probably will be the first candidate to be rolled out in this country. The vaccine developed by the Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII) is also in the final stage. Pfizer’s vaccine is also ready.

The latest Coronavirus Update suggests that The SII has collaborated with Oxford University and AstraZeneca to manufacture the much-needed vaccine to stop the COVID-19 deaths.

The Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech, SII, and Pfizer already sought permission from the DCGI to move on with the process of vaccination on a mass scale.

The Subject Expert Committee (SEC) on COVID-19 of the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has asked for additional safety for vaccines manufactured by the SII and Bharat Biotech.

The Indian unit of the American pharmaceutical major, Pfizer, has also sought an additional period to make a presentation of the vaccine manufactured by it before the SEC of CDSCO. Several countries like the UK, Bahrain, and the US have already approved the vaccine of Pfizer.

The Covid 19 Vaccine Update confirms that the new Corona Virus mutant or variant, detected in the UK and named as VUI202012/01, has created fears across several nations. However, it is not likely to threaten India, as of now.

Researchers are also working on to find a new vaccine for this muted version of the COVID-19. At least eight countries of the world already rolled-out the vaccinations on a mass scale. These countries are the UK, the US, China, Canada, Switzerland, Bahrain, Russia, and Mexico.

Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, and Slovakia have also started a trial run of the vaccine.

The vaccine did create some adverse reactions, but overall, it was largely successful. If the process of vaccination is intensified, much of the fear of the spread of COVID-19 can be contained.
