Covaxin, Covishield Recipients Had Same Infection Rate In 3rd Wave: Study

New Delhi: Seventy per cent of people who received a booster dose of Covid vaccine did not get infected during the third wave, according to a new study that covered around 6,000 people in India. The study led by Dr Rajeev Jayadevan, co-chairman of the Indian Medical Association's national task force on coronavirus, said that 45 per cent of the vaccinated people who did not take a precautionary dose reported Covid in the third wave. The survey covered 5,971 vaccinated people, of which 24 per cent were aged below 40 and 50 per cent belonged to the 40-59 age group. Women accounted for 45 per cent of the people surveyed, while 53 per cent were healthcare workers. Of the 5,971 people, 2,383 took the booster dose and 30 per cent of them reported Covid during the third wave, it said. The boosted group also had a greater proportion of healthcare workers and higher N95 use. The researchers concluded that a long gap after the second dose correlated with a higher chance of infection during the third wave. Also, "giving a third dose before a six-month gap did not make a difference in the infection rate", it said.
