About Covaxin Vaccine

Whole Virion, Inactivated Corona Virus vaccine is used to prevent Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).Whole Virion, Inactivated Corona Virus vaccine contains an inactivated form of the virus itself (made up of killed coronaviruses, making it safe to be injected into the body). When administered, the dead virus acts as an antigen and provokes an immune response that can block or kill the virus, without actually causing the disease.

Uses of Covaxin Vaccine

Whole Virion, Inactivated Corona Virus vaccine is used to prevent Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Medicinal Benefits of Covaxin Vaccine

Whole Virion, Inactivated Corona Virus vaccine contains an inactivated form of the virus itself (made up of killed coronaviruses, making it safe to be injected into the body). When administered, the dead virus acts as an antigen and provokes an immune response that can block or kill the virus, without actually causing the disease. Thus, Whole Virion, Inactivated Corona Virus vaccine is incapable of infecting people but still able to instruct the immune system to promote a defensive reaction if a person becomes infected just like the natural body immune mechanism in case of other infections (such as common cold or flu).

Directions for Use

  • Two doses of Whole Virion, Inactivated Corona Virus vaccine are given 4 to 6 weeks apart. Ensure that you complete the dosing schedule.
  • Do not get vaccinated on an empty stomach. Have a proper meal before visiting the vaccination site.
  • You may be observed at the vaccination center itself to guard against any immediate allergic reaction or side effects.
  • Do not interchange the vaccines. The second dose should also be of the same COVID-19 vaccine which was administered as the first dose.
  • A minimum interval of 14 days should be maintained between the administration of any other vaccine. However, if the benefits of vaccination outweigh the potential unknown risks of vaccine coadministration, COVID-19 and other vaccines may be administered within a shorter period (e.g., tetanus vaccine, rabies vaccine, etc.)
  • Defer vaccination for 14 days after symptoms resolution if you have confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infection.
  • Do get vaccinated even if you have recovered from COVID-19 infection in the past, as this will help in developing a stronger immune response.
  • Continue to follow other preventive measures such as social distancing, mask donning, and hand-washing even after getting vaccinated.
