The pace of the second wave of corona across the country has stopped for the time being, but if experts are to be believed, we may have to face the third wave of this virus. It is believed that the third wave of corona can engulf children. On the other hand, Gujarat’s Ahmedabad-based Zydus Cadila Group, which is testing the COVID vaccine on 12 to 18-year-old children, may soon seek permission from the Drug Controller General of India for emergency use for its vaccine. According to Business Standard, if Cadila gets approval for this test, then it will be the world’s first DNA-plasmid COVID vaccine. Government and company sources confirmed that the Ahmedabad-based firm may seek permission for emergency use from the drug regulator in about a week.
A government official quoted the newspaper as saying that Cadila’s vaccine tested on children has reached the third phase of testing. The company may soon seek the EUA for its vaccine. The company is preparing to get approval for emergency use for its vaccine by the end of June or July.
Vaccine will be effective on children
The company’s director Patel said, “Vaccine making is always started with older people. After this the vaccine is prepared for the youth and then for the children. He said that our vaccine will be more beneficial for children. No side effects have been seen in the tests done so far. Another advantage of this vaccine is that it does not require injection.
Can be stored between 2-8 degree Celsius
ZyCov-D is a vaccine developed by Ahmedabad-based Zydus-Cadila. What’s unique about this vaccine is that it uses plasmid DNA to instruct human cells to produce the SARS-CoV-2 antigen to elicit an immune response. Therefore, this vaccine can be stored between 2-8 °C, while the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine requires cold-chain maintenance at -70 °C or at least -15 to -25 °C.
