Six months after they got their 2nd shot of Covaxin vaccine, seven people at Chennais SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre (SRM MCHRC) got the 3rd shot of Covaxin on Monday as part of a study to ascertain whether the vaccine can give a lifelong immunity against COVID-19.
As part of the study, a total of 190 people (aged between 18 to 55) in eight cities will receive the 3rd shot of Covaxin, which has been developed by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech in collaboration with Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and National Institute of Virology (NIV).
TOI quoted Dr Satyajit Mohapatra, who is the principal investigator of the study at SRM MCHRC as saying: Participants will have a follow up one, three and six months after receiving the booster dose when their samples will be collected and tested for safety and immunogenicity.
Dr Mohapatra added: This is a continuation of the phase 2 trials to see if the booster dose triggers the long-term memory cells or plasma cells enough to memorise the immunity and give lifelong immunity to the system.
