Patna: Those who are afraid of needles and haven’t taken the Covid-19 vaccine no need to fear that now.
Bihar has received 15 doses of lakh vaccines formed by Zydus Cadila, which has been sent to Jamui, Bhagalpur and Madhubani, regardless of the three centers on Patna.
However, the source said the provisions to register for this vaccine on the Cowin portal may take time.
This is a Plasmid DNA vaccine three doses and injected intracermal or on the skin with a pharmajet needle-free system without pain.
Zydus began this vaccine supply to the center on Wednesday and Bihar got his stock on Friday.
Until now, only the beneficiaries of this vaccine can be given.
An official said because almost 100% of the benefits of over 18 years have taken the first dose of covishiled or covaxin in the state, those who recently added in this age group can take a needle-free vaccine.
“For example, those who are 18 years old,” said an official.
Patna Civil Surgeon Dr.
Vibha Kumari Singh said after the first dose, the second must be taken after 28 days and third after 56 days.
Dr.
Singh further said that every time 0.1ml vaccines were given to both arms.
That means in the three doses, the vaccine will be given to both arms.
He said health workers had been trained in this matter.
In accordance with the data available on the Cowin portal, more than 11.37 the covid crore vaccine dose was given at Bihar until Friday night.
It includes more than 1.53 crore covaxin and more than 9.84 crore doss covishield.
