Russian made covid-19 vaccine "Sputnik-V" to be used for emergency use in India

Russian made covid-19 vaccine "Sputnik-V" to be used for emergency use in India

 

* Expert panel on drugs and vaccine regulation and adminstration in India has cleared "Sputnik V", Russia's largely used vaccine for circulation within India

 

* The administration has given in to this proposition amidst high concerns over the need to step up Covid-19 vaccine and dosages manufacture and supply within India as there is a wide bridge in demand and supply within India and thus the need for procuring the vaccine for restricted emergency use within India .

 

* The final approval upon this is to be taken by the Drug Controller of India very soon as per reports over some of the major daily newspapers circulated in India

 

* Once this proposal would be approved , Hyderabad based drug manufacturer company "Dr Reddy's Lab" will initially procure the importing license post which it will import from Russian manufacturing company and then it will supply to GOI

( Government of India )

 

* The GOI will procure "Sputnik V" from Dr Reddy's Lab for the national Covid vaccination programme but this will be in small quantities in the initial period.

 

* Stocks of the same are expected to rise by June-July 2021 as per published reports in the newspapers

 

* The Central govt expects that "Sputnik V" could be seen as a major welcome addition to "Covishield" and "Covaxin" which

are India's inhouse conceptualised, developed , manufactured and served vaccine for the citizens as well as for export to interested countries . This is expected to improve the lurking gap between the prevalent supply and demand gap as per the current trend

 

* It is however expected that with increased production of Covaxin , India's dependency over other countries for vaccine will fall and India might be able to cater to its citizens needs and welfare as per the dictats of AtmaNirbhar Bharat

Double Shield - Two Mask Theory ( Prevention is Better than Cure - Strategy for Covid-19 new impacts )

 

       Double Shield - Two Mask Theory

 

* As the second wave of Corona Virus Pandemic hit the country , many of the people have accepted a double-mask approach in order to keep the corona virus at bay as experts said that this is one of the most "advisable" and "best" methods to stop transmission

 

* Most of the people who have started practicing this trend have started wearing a surgical mask and a cloth mask or two cloth masks .

 * A double mask is the most advisable approach when someone intends to hit outdoors or to any crowded place like vegetable or grocery markets where social distancing is not usually put to best practice by the general public

 

* Also experts say that as many of the common masks that we generally use do not fit well and tightly to our faces , wearing a double mask definitely reduces the risk of the droplets from any infected person susceptible to escape from the sides of the mask either while breathing in/out or sneezing etc

 

* The double mask recommendation is based on a study conducted by US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

 

* The CDC has conducted experiments to assess two ways of improving the fit of the medical procedure masks - ie fitting a cloth mask over a medical procedure mask and knotting the ear loops of a medical procedure mask and then tucking in and flattening the extra material close to the face which substantially improved source control and reduced wearer exposure .
