Cocktail Dose of Covishield-Covaccine Doesn't Work

According to a study by Christian Medical College, Vellore, no significant results have been found when Covishield and Covaccine are combined. In such a situation, the government is not yet in favor of giving approval to mix two different vaccines.

NTAGI's COVID Working Group reviewing the study said that scientific evidence has shown that primary vaccination with Covaxin produces 6 to 10 times more antibodies than CovaShield vaccine as a booster dose. At the same time, the use of Covaccine vaccine as a booster dose after two vaccinations of Covishield has not shown such benefit.
