In last few days, nothing has gone right. This virus has
infected over 1 crore people worldwide and stopped the whole world. Due to
which we have seen unemployment, economic crisis, loss in hospitality and tourism
sector and what not. Scientists across the world are working on at least 145
vaccines from which 21 vaccines have entered human trials. And till what point
of time this is going to be the same? No one has answer. But in all this
something good has happened. India’s two candidates have got approval for human
clinical trials and India has entered in the race of novel Corona virus
vaccine.
The
first candidate is Bharat Biotech International Ltd in collaboration with Indian
Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi and National Institute of
Virology (NIV), Pune. The vaccine is named as ‘Covaxin’. It works by using
inactive strains of SARS CoV-2. This particles of virus are inactivated in
accordance to stop them from infecting the person. Body of that person would
generate antibodies and will give immunity from COVID-19. The ICMR has stated
that this vaccine will be available by August 15 for which WHO replied that
this is practically impossible to launch vaccine in 45 days and human trails of
certain vaccine can take 12-16 months. The launch date of this vaccine has
created a criticism.
Another
candidate is ‘ZyCov-D’ by Zydus Cadila. It is entering human trials this month.
It works by using Plasmid DNA.
Because
these vaccines are local, these vaccines will be available in Indian market
early and at minimum cost. Let’s hope we get safe and effective cure against
COVID-19 in shortest possible time.
