The restriction is that these doses must be the same as the ones administered earlier and there must be at least a nine-month gap following the second dose, implying that Covishield and Covaxin will comprise almost all of the demand. The experience of the past two years from around the world has shown that the third dose has only a little additional benefit over two doses in preventing an infection because of the constantly <strong>mutating (to change into a new form) <\/strong>character of the virus. But, because it helps keep antibody levels boosted, they are useful in protecting against a severe infection. A major aspect of vaccines is the risk of adverse events following vaccination, and previous experience has suggested that certain vaccines may induce a higher risk of blood clots in younger populations. While these instances are extremely limited, they become particularly relevant in India given the size of the population and that a large number of people \u2014 young and old \u2014 have already been exposed to the virus. Normally, a technical committee of experts, such as the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI), weighs the evidence before recommending an approved vaccine for <strong>roll-out (officially launch or introduce a new product or service)<\/strong> but this practice has been effectively <strong>eschewed (Avoid and stay away from deliberately) <\/strong>in the context of booster doses, as well as earlier decisions to inoculate those below 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic is far from over and reports from several other countries suggest that no country can consider itself <strong>immune (A person who is secure against a particular infection) <\/strong>from emerging variants. With schools reopened, mask mandates made voluntary and restrictions on international travel lifted in India, it is reasonable for the Centre to anticipate a future wave led by a more transmissible variant \u2014 reports of the highly infectious XE variant have already surfaced here \u2014 and, therefore, take steps to <strong>buffer (Protect from impact) <\/strong>against it. However, there is no public information on whether studies have been done to establish if administering a different vaccine as a third dose is better at boosting antibodies than repeating a vaccine. This ideally ought to have been a major area of research for the Centre. Another aspect that <strong>bears (to hold in the mind) <\/strong>a closer look is progress on vaccines other than Covaxin and Covishield. The Serum Institute of India appears to be <strong>gearing up (Make ready or suitable or equip in advance for a particular purpose or for some use, event, etc)<\/strong> for large volumes of, not Covishield, but Covavax. Covaxin, following the World Health Organization\u2019s recommendation to pause exports pending an upgrade of its production facilities, is also unlikely to see fresh stocks any time soon. Both vaccines in fact will be available at discounted rates in private facilities. Demand is currently <strong>lacklustre (dull) <\/strong>but were it to spike, will supply be adequate? The Centre needs to be more transparent about the rationale guiding its vaccine policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/exams\/banking\/sbi-clerk\/?refcode=3962&amp;utm_source=Blog_The+Hindu+Editorial+Vocabulary%E2%80%93+Apr+12%2C+2022%3B+Day+267_120422_SBICM&amp;utm_medium=Link&amp;utm_campaign=SBICM\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/SBI_Clerk-Free-Mock-1-1024x128.png\" alt=\"SBI_Clerk Free Mock\" class=\"wp-image-17642\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to learn new words on a daily basis?
