Covishield Vaccine can cause rare side effects..!?


The maker of the vaccine, AstraZeneca, has told a UK court that the CoviShield vaccine can cause side effects. As the only solution to the coronavirus is a vaccine, a vaccine has been foundand vaccination efforts have been intensifiedacross the world. Vaccination work started in india from january 2021 and most of them were given. For india, the Central Drug Regulatory Authority has approved various vaccines for emergency use, including Covishield, Covaxin, Moderna, Sputnik V, Johnson & Johnson, and the needle-free vaccine Cygov-D. However, most of the people in india were vaccinated with Covaxin manufactured and distributed by Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech, and Covishield manufactured by pune Serum Company. Both these vaccines were included under the National Immunization Program and administered to the beneficiaries. The central government procured the vaccine and distributed it free to the states.

In this, theCovaxin vaccine is being prepared by the National Institute of Virology in collaboration with ICMR, National Institute of Virology. It is made in India. Meanwhile, the Serum Institute of india has developed the COVID-19 vaccine “Covishield” in collaboration with the Oxford university of england and the multinational pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. In this situation, the AstraZeneca company, which produced the vaccine, reported to the UK court that the Covishield vaccine may cause side effects such as blood clotting and decreased blood platelets. In a british court filing, AstraZeneca said the 'COVID-19 vaccine can cause a very rare blood clotting side effect called TTS. As around 51 people have sued in a british court alleging deaths and injuries caused by the vaccine, AstraZeneca's explanation has set the scene for compensating them.

While about 174.94 crore CoviShield vaccines have been administered in india, AstraZeneca, the maker of the CoviShield vaccine, has shocked the UK court by stating that side effects may occur from the CoviShield vaccine. Earlier, England's Oxford university and multinational pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca jointly developed a vaccine to prevent Corona. However, human clinical trials of the vaccine have been halted worldwide, citing side effects. However, the vaccine was not affected. As it was found that it had nothing to do with the vaccine, the tests were conducted again and the vaccine was used.


Meanwhile, there have been reports of blood clots in some people who received the AstraZeneca vaccine in european countries. It was also reported that one woman died. There were also reports of casualties in some countries. As a result, various countries temporarily banned the vaccine. After that, the vaccine has nothing to do with blood clots. It is noteworthy that AstraZeneca explained that no evidence was found.
