Covaxin, Covishield cocktail safe, says ICMR study

A combination of Covishield and Covaxin shots is safe and, in fact, offers better immunogenicity than two doses of the same vaccine, says a limited study conducted by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
According to a recent media report in The Indian Express, the study was conducted on a small group of 18 volunteers, who did not show any adverse effects upon administration of the mixed vaccine shots. The study showed that injecting two different vaccines (Covishield and Covaxin) weeks apart offers better immunogenicity than two doses of the same vaccine.
