Kanpur. Bharat Biotech’s manufactured Intra Nasal Kovid Vaccine was trialled in Kanpur on Tuesday. The enthusiasm for taking the nasal vaccine was such that more than the prescribed number reached. On the first day only 30 volunteers were given the nasal vaccine. The youngest 20-year-old girl and 21-year-old youth took the vaccine first.
Two famous doctors of the city also reached with the family. Meanwhile, Bharat Biotech and ICMR have given permission to the trial center to deliver the vaccine to 20 more volunteers. Now in the second phase, 50 volunteers will be given nozzle vaccine at Prakhar Hospital, Kanpur’s trial center.
Under the supervision of the team of Bharat Biotech and ICMR, the trial of nasal vaccine was started at 2 pm at Prakhar Hospital. The trial was to be held on 30 volunteers, but 40 volunteers reached at 11 am. The doctors of the team took the blood and urine samples of all the volunteers and gave the vaccine to all in turn.
Dr. JS Kushwaha, Chief Guide of the trial team, said that all the volunteers were first made to lie on the bed by giving 2 drops on either side of the nose. After 5 minutes, 2-2 drops of vaccine were given again. After half an hour all were dispatched. Volunteers were mostly people for the enlightened class. The girl who took the first vaccine said that the nasal vaccine seems to be effective. There was not the slightest pain, nor was there a feeling of heaviness. Even after staying in the center for half an hour, no change was seen.
Dose will be given after 28 days
Dr. Kushwaha said that there were some post covid patients among the volunteers who had not yet got the vaccine. On the 28th day, when the second dose of the vaccine is given, then everyone will know how much anti-body they already had and how much remained after taking the dose. Bharat Biotech will release the sampling report later.
If volunteers come on Wednesday also, 20 will be given nasal vaccine in the trial. The identity of the volunteers has been put on hold by the ICMR, so no one’s name has been disclosed.
Show no fear
The volunteers involved in the trial of the nasal vaccine had different experiences. The city’s medicine specialist took the nasal vaccine with the family. He said that people’s fear will end with this vaccine. Some people have a fear of getting a needle, but this fear has also ended in it. The attack of corona virus occurs from the nose itself, so the vaccine will kill the virus as soon as it arrives. From the trial, it seems that this vaccine will be a game changer because now someone will be able to get it. Its effect is visible.
