India’s homegrown candidate vaccine against the novel coronavirus disease developed by the Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech has generated a dual immune response that has raised hopes of immunity lasting six to 12 months.
The candidate vaccine named Covaxin generated anti-coronavirus antibodies and stirred immune memory cells in the vaccinated volunteers, researchers with Bharat Biotech and the Indian Council of Medical Research said in a scientific paper released on Wednesday.
The paper, describing the results of safety and immunogenicity trials in 380 volunteers in nine hospitals across the country, has also reported similar immune responses across age groups. The trials offered the candidate vaccine to volunteers aged between 12 years up to 65 years.
