Controversy since approval of emergency use
Kovaxin is co-produced by Bharat Biotech and ICMR. It has also been approved for emergency use in the country. Since then, a dispute started over it. The Congress accused the government of hastily approving Kovaxin. It was said that the company has not yet completed the third phase trial. In such a situation, its use is not free from danger. The government had said that it has been approved only on the basis of the report of the trial. It has complied with all the standards. On Thursday 7 January, Bharat Biotech reported the completion of the third phase trial. 26 thousand people have participated in it.

Vomiting started with restlessness
Akash Maravi, the son of the deceased Deepak, told Dainik Bhaskar that his father’s health deteriorated on 19 December after the vaccine was given on 12 December. He suddenly started having vomiting with nervousness, restlessness, nausea. However, they did not treat it as a normal disease.

According to Deepak, the father had stopped going to labor since the dosas were performed, following the Corona protocol. When he died on December 21, he was alone at home. The mother had gone out of work and the younger brother was playing outside. The death notice was sent to the People’s College the same day. The next day, he was cremated at Subhash Nagar Vishram Ghat.
