BE submitted the interim safety data and immunogenicity data to regulatory agencies. For both the age subsets, the trial showed a significant increase in the anti-RBD IgG antibodies and neutralising antibodies (nAb) against ancestral strain and Delta variant. The titers observed post vaccination with Corbevax in the paediatric cohorts were comparable to the adult cohort evaluated in earlier clinical trials and the vaccine showed excellent safety for both age groups.
Corbevax Vaccine For Children
“This is a great opportunity to get back to some level of normalcy in our continuing fight against the prevalent pandemic situation as Corbevax is the first indigenous Covid-19 vaccine in the country that addresses the vaccination needs of all age groups from 5 years and above,” said Mahima Datla, Managing Director, Biological E.
The company revealed that it has so far manufactured 30 crore doses of Corbevax and has already supplied nearly 10 crore doses to the government. Currently, over 3 crore doses of Corbevax have been administered in children between 12-15 years of age. With an approval for the 5-12 age group, this move will not only reduce the risks children face from the infectious disease, but it will also enable them to concentrate on their education and social development, which were severely impacted by the pandemic.
Getting their kids vaccinated will also help ease parents’ concerns while sending them to school, it added.
