NEW DELHI: A research led by the National Institute of Immunology, apart from several other government institutions, has for the first time confirmed Covaxin-induced immune memory, indicating that the COVID-19 vaccine is capable of ensuring long term protection against severe disease.

The study, funded by the Centre's department of biotechnology has shown that T and B cell memory responses generated by Covaxin measures similar to the memory responses generated by the natural infection.

"This study has implication for future vaccine development, guidance for use of inactivated virus vaccine, and booster immunisation," it said.
