what is the reality

It is being claimed on social media that taking Covaxin, the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech, can lead to death after two years. This claim is completely false and misleading. According to the available data, there is no strong evidence of any increased risk of heart attack or death after two years of taking Covaxin. All vaccines, including Covaxin, undergo rigorous trials on their safety and effectiveness before they are approved. Also, their monitoring continues even after approval is given.

Covaxin has some side effects

It is true that some problems may occur after taking the vaccine. But, these problems are usually seen shortly after vaccination, and it is extremely rare for serious side-effects to occur over a long period of time. WHO had approved Covaxin for emergency use after a complete analysis of risks and benefits. Heart attacks and other cardiovascular problems can occur for many reasons, including pre-existing health problems, lifestyle, and genetics. Such events occurring two years after receiving the vaccine are unlikely to be directly related to the vaccine.

A big clinical trial of Covaxin was conducted

In June 2020, India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare gave permission to begin Phase I and II human trials for Covaxin after preliminary studies. These studies found that it is safe and can produce strong immune reactions in animals. Bharat Biotech conducted Phase I and Phase II trials involving around 1,000 people.

These trials yielded good safety and immunogenicity results and were published in international scientific journals. Its Phase III trial was conducted in November 2020 in which 26,000 people from India were included. The vaccine was approved only after seeing its safety and effectiveness.
