Given the quickly changing scene of the pandemic worldwide, experts say that the best protection against high-risk individuals is the one at hand.
The study by 'bioRxiv', an open-access preprint repository for the biological sciences, shared on Tuesday that its study shows that administration of Covaxin booster dose will enhance the vaccine effectiveness against the Delta variant infection and give protection against the Omicron variants BA.1.1 and BA.2.
Meanwhile, Covid-19 cases have resumed their upward trend, surpassing the 200-mark for the first time since mid-March this week.
