🅾️IMPORTANT👇

✅️Approved as heterologous booster dose:

👉iNNCOVACC is the first intranasal Covid-19 vaccine to receive approval for the primary 2-dose schedule and as a heterologous booster dose.

🔵A booster dose is an extra dose administered after the primary vaccination. It is given after a specific period when the protection from the initial dose begins to reduce.

🔵There are two types of booster doses, in homologous boosting, a person is injected with the same vaccine that was used for the two previous doses. For example, if a person has received 2 doses of the Covishield vaccine, he will receive a 3rd booster dose of the Covishield vaccine only.✅️

👉In heterologous boosting, a person is injected with a different vaccine from that was used for the primary dose.

🅾️ Why it can be called an ideal vaccine for future diseases?

👉iNCOVACC is a cost-effective vaccine which does not require syringes, needles, alcohol wipes, bandages, etc. This saves costs related to procurement, distribution, storage, and biomedical waste disposal, which is routinely required for injectable vaccines.

🅾️ Most importantly, it utilizes a vector-based platform, which can be easily updated with emerging variants leading to large-scale production, within a few months. These rapid response timelines combined with the ability of cost-effective and easy intranasal delivery make it an ideal vaccine to address future infectious diseases
