Decision on Covid Vaccination
This is just a general question to clear myself.
I am not sure whether I should take the Covid vaccine or not. I have checked Bharat Biotech and Serum institute sites where it said that the vaccine 3rd phase is not approved yet, and only authorised to use in Emergency case. As India is already vaccinated 18cr, why the 3rd phase not approved yet. Is it wrong if we expect any adverse effect of using unapproved vaccine in long term?
Clearing the above questions will decide my stand on taking vaccine.. thanks
Vaccine produced by serum institute of India is the formula of that of Astrazenaca vaccine which is the most widely used vaccine around the world.
As far as Bharat biotech’s covaxin is concerned , when the vaccination drive was started in India at that time 3rd phase trial was not done but they did presented 3rd phase trial data within few days.
You can take any vaccine. Surely it will be effective in preventing severe disease . No major side effects are noted in the majority . May have mild side effects like fever , headache, body pain for 2-3 days.
