Covaxin 77.8% Effective Against Covid-19, 65.2% Against Delta Variant: Lancet Study

News 18  

Covaxin, a Covid-19 vaccine developed by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech, was found to have a 77.8% efficacy rate against symptomatic Covid-19, as per an analysis published in The Lancet. The roll-out of Covaxin can “increase the finite global manufacturing capacity, and improve the insufficient supply of vaccines which disproportionately affects low-income and middle-income countries”, said Chinese researchers Li Jingxin Li and Zhu Fengcai, who did not take part in the study. Since then more than 100 million doses of Covaxin have been deployed across India and last week the World Health Organization added the inoculation to its list of Covid vaccines authorized for emergency use. Defending the vaccine, Bharat Biotech CMD Krishna Ella while speaking at Times Now summit said that the delay in granting the EUA by the World Health Organisation for Covaxin, was to be blamed on the “negative campaign” against the vaccine in India.
