NEW DELHI: A new study, conducted by the Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, has found that vaccines were effective in combating the mutated variants of coronavirus and guarding against severe infection, hospitalisation and even death. The study was conducted on 69 symptomatic healthcare workers working at the hospital, who tested positive for Covid-19 after their vaccination during the first 100 days of the vaccination drive earlier this year.
These healthcare workers were administered the Covishield vaccine. The study analysed nasopharyngeal samples for genome sequencing in collaboration with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). Genome Sequencing is the key test to identify the nature of the virus and the variants that may emerge. Currently, this facility is available in only ten select Government organisations.

New Delhi [India], May 26 (ANI): With several cases of Covid-19 infections being reported after partial or full vaccinations, concerns have been raised on the efficacy of vaccination against the mutated variants of the novel coronavirus.
Allaying these concerns, a new study emphasises that vaccines have been found effective against mutations of the Covid-19 virus and protects against severe illness. Infections occurring two weeks after the full vaccination have been referred to as Break Through Infections or BTI. Vaccines were found to be effective in combating mutated variants and protect the vaccinated from severe illness, hospitalization, or death , said findings of the research by Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
