Ever since the Covid news from China reported that a new covid sub-variant BF 7 has disrupted the lives of millions, there has been a scare across the globe. Covid nasal vaccine is therefore being highly recommended to normalize the tensed situation.
It’s now believed that nasal vaccine can work far better as compared to Covishield and Covaxin. And so, the vaccine which is being made by the Bharat Biotech is being welcomed for those who are scared of getting an injection.
Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, who’s India’s Union Health and Family Welfare Minister, has stated that Bharat Biotech Nasal Vaccine has been approved to work as a booster dose.
Because of this initiative taken by the government, Bharat Biotech’s intranasal Covid vaccine will be supplied to private players as well.
The above option will also be visible from now on the CoWIN portal from Friday evening.
This will be made available to mainly elderly people and small children who generally have to go through the fear of needles.
