Corbevax, by Biological-E, is a protein sub-unit vaccine as is Covovax, to be made by the Serum Institute of India. Both, however, differ in their manufacturing process. Covovax has already been approved by WHO under its Emergency Use Listing and will be available globally as part of the COVAX initiative to ensure that at least 40% of the world is vaccinated on priority. Molnupiravir, which was approved this month by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, on the heels of Paxlovid by Pfizer Inc., is said to be a promising drug for those with mild and moderate disease and easily administered as a pill \u2014 its key selling point. Thirteen companies in India are set to make this drug. It has been approved for use under EUA for treating adults with COVID-19 \u201cwho have high risk of progression to disease\u201d. Having more vaccines in the <strong>arsenal (A supply of something available for future use) bodes well (to show or suggest that future developments or events will be good or favorable)<\/strong> because of the uncertainties that the pandemic brings about. As of today, 90% of India\u2019s adults have been inoculated with one dose and 60% with both doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experience with the new variant Omicron is that it is so infectious, it does not discriminate among the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, though severe disease and death is disproportionately among the latter. Here too, those who are above 40 years continue to be the most vulnerable. Despite three vaccines being available, India has overwhelmingly been reliant on Covishield and that is a matter of concern as a new chapter in the vaccination programme <strong>unfolds (Develop or come to a promising stage)<\/strong>. The new directives say that \u201cprecaution doses\u201d, which are third doses of the vaccines an individual has already been inoculated with, will be available for health-care and frontline workers and those above 60 with <strong>comorbidities ((medicine) the coexistence of two or more related medical conditions)<\/strong>. The 15-17 year age group will get only Covaxin from January 3. That several Indians have been exposed to a live infection in the second wave only improves the odds of protection. However, the only study on mixing Covaxin and Covishield \u2014 that resulted from a <strong>mix-up (a mistake that causes confusion)<\/strong> in Uttar Pradesh \u2014 showed that antibody levels were higher than two doses of either vaccine. A combination of Novavax and AstraZeneca (Covishield) was also effective in boosting antibodies, according to the COV-BOOST study in the United Kingdom. India\u2019s top medical institutions must immediately test the feasibility of mixing all available vaccines so that these may be made quickly available if needed giving recipients the option of an informed choice. The second wave revealed a treatment <strong>fiasco (A disastrous or embarrassing failure) <\/strong>with remdesivir \u2014 <strong>sans (without) <\/strong>any therapeutic merit \u2014 that saw irrational demand and black marketing. While molnupiravir has many more manufacturers, it is important to ensure against hoarding or indiscriminate use given its potential side-effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/rbi-assistant\/?refcode=3360&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Dec+30%2C+2021%3B+Day+204_301221_RBIAM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=RBIAM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/RBI_Assistant_020921-1024x128.jpg\" alt=\"RBI_Assistant_Free Mock\" class=\"wp-image-8325\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep your vocabulary updated with the help of our articles where we highlight 10 difficult words\/ phrases and explain their contextual sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12924,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,25,5,48,2,19,1315,31,49,16,47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-12921","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ibps-clerk","category-ibps-po","category-ibps-so","category-nabard-grade-a","category-rbi-assistant","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-cbo","category-sbi-clerk","category-sbi-po","category-ssc-cgl","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Dec 30, 2021;
