Dr Nikhila Juvvadi
“If you’ve already had COVID-19, it’s still recommended you get the vaccine as it helps get your immunity to get stronger.”
“Vaccine requires a particular type of storage, at about –80 degree C, which means a lot of logistic preplanning”
“In India, there are the internationally developed Astrazenaca and those being developed in Hyderabad with Bharat Biotech, which will likely be available first”
“In the United States, the general public will get the vaccine by March, and I’m sure it’ll happen in India by summer too.”
