India may soon start in few weeks testing feasibility of a regimen that mixes 2 different doses of Covid vaccines to see if it helps boost immune response to virus, said Dr N K Arora, chairman of Covid-19 working group under National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI).
Speaking about the vaccine production in the country, Dr Arora said, "Yesterday, SII in a letter mentioned that from June onwards they will be manufacturing 10-12 crore doses, which is almost 50% ramping up. Similarly, Covaxin is also going to increase its production and by July end they will also produce between10-12 crores."
He added that the government aims at vaccinating 1 crore people everyday. "By August we will have 20-25 crore vaccine doses per month; another 5-6 crore doses from other manufacturing units or if we get international vaccine doses. The objective is to vaccinate 1 crore people every day," he added.
