Based The Oxford-Astra's Covid vaccine is sold as CovishieldTM in India, which is manufactured andmarketed by the Serum Institute of India. In India, 175 crore doses of the same vaccine produced bythe Pune-based Serum Institute, have been given out in India. The parent company has recentlymade a startling disclosure about probable serious adverse effect of the vaccine that it can causethrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS). Naturally, this opens a Pandora’s Box aboutthe safety and adversity of the injection that each of us received. In few cases some adverse effectshave been reported including few recorded deaths. Social media users are debating the vaccine'ssafety in response to this admission. While worries are legitimate, it's important to separate factsfrom myths. Vaccines can cause some common side effects and, in some instances, very rareserious side effects but the benefits always outweigh the risks. India could beat the pandemic due totimely administration of the vaccine.
