India's first needle-free COVID vaccine ZyCov-D has been launched in Patna, Bihar.
As per Civil Surgeon Dr. Vibha Singh, the program has been started at 3 vaccination centers so far and is helpful for people who are refraining from taking vaccines due to their fear of needles.
ZyCov-D is India’s second indigenous Covid-19 vaccine after Covaxin.
ZyCov-D is a needleless vaccine that is unique in nature as it has been developed on a plasmid DNA platform.
ZyCov-D has already received approval for administration in kids aged 12-15, however, it will first be given to adults in India.
ZyCov D, manufactured by pharmaceutical giant Zydus Cadila, is given in three doses in a gap of 28 days and 56 days.
