In the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Covaxin has emerged as a beacon of hope, offering protection against this deadly virus. As the vaccine rollout gains momentum, securing a Covaxin slot is paramount to safeguarding yourself and your loved ones.
Covaxin, developed by Bharat Biotech, is an inactivated vaccine that has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in clinical trials. According to data published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, Covaxin achieved an overall efficacy of 81% in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 infections. Notably, it also exhibited high efficacy against severe disease and hospitalization.
Covaxin has undergone rigorous safety testing and has been found to be safe and well-tolerated. The most common side effects are mild and temporary, such as pain at the injection site, fever, and headache. Serious adverse events are extremely rare.
Covaxin is currently available in over 1,000 government and private vaccination centers across India. The government has set a target of vaccinating over 1.3 billion people by the end of 2022. To find a Covaxin slot near you, visit the CoWin portal.
Individuals aged 18 years and above are eligible to receive the Covaxin vaccine. Registration can be done through the CoWin portal or by visiting a vaccination center directly. It is recommended to pre-register online to secure your appointment.
Once you have registered, you will be notified when slots become available in your area. You can book your slot through the CoWin portal or via the Aarogya Setu app. It is crucial to note that availability will vary depending on your location and the number of slots released by the government.
On the day of your appointment, bring your photo ID and vaccination card. The vaccination process typically takes around 30 minutes, including registration, screening, and the injection.
