Novel Corona Virus (COVID 19) – All you need to know

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease COVID-19. Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Read More

The COVID-19 Vaccine

While strong measures are adopted and progress is made in containing the spread of the COVID-19 virus through better public health interventions, diagnostics and treatments, scientists across the world have accelerated the process to develop a safe and effective vaccine that will break the chain of transmission. Vaccines aim to expose the body to an antigen and provoke an immune response that can block or kill the virus if a person becomes subsequently infected, without causing the disease.

Two vaccines that have been granted emergency use authorization by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) in India are Covishield® (AstraZeneca’s vaccine manufactured by Serum Institute of India) and Covaxin® (manufactured by Bharat Biotech Limited).

Co-WIN is a platform for the citizens of India to Register for COVID-19 vaccination and schedule their vaccination slots at the nearest vaccination centers. To register yourself please log into https://www.cowin.gov.in/home.
