Brief Description about the Project:
There are currently three approved COVID vaccines in India, of which two have been in use widely (Covishield and Covaxin), and a third vaccine (Sputnik V) .The kinetics and longevity of immune responses of these vaccines in the Indian population are not completely understood. In-depth immunogenicity data and the establishment of platforms to generate such data will improve the ability to make public health decisions. The studies proposed aims to generate immunogenicity data addressing the needs of the COVID vaccination program in the country. It also aims to understand the duration of protective immunity acquired after every one of the current generation of vaccines and be prepared for the next generation of vaccines as well as the potential of a third wave associated with either waning immunity or emergence of additional virus variants. The study will also aim to look at immunological and virological factors break-through infections in individuals who have received the complete dose of vaccination. The primary objective of the studies proposed herein, is to understand the differences in magnitude and longevity of humoral and cellular immune responses generated following vaccination with either Covaxin or Covishield, in those with or without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection based on seropositivity.
