The govt has given the dose of approval that India needed to overcome the massive Covid&nbsp;resurgence by fast-tracking emergency approvals for foreign&nbsp;produced Covid&nbsp;vaccines. Here is why this is a game changer -:
<ul>
<li>Vaccines that have already got emergency usage&nbsp;authorisation from US, EU,&nbsp; UK, WHO will get automatic approval for "emergency use" in India.</li>
<li>The govt will then give final approval for wider roll out after assessing the first 100 people vaccinated over 7 days.</li>
<li>This takes away delays faced or hurdles due to insistence of local trials.</li>
<li>Opens the door for faster roll-out of all foreign produced vaccines such as J&amp;J, Pfizer and more.</li>
</ul>

India's drug regulator, the Drugs Controller General of India or DCGI, approved the Russian Covid vaccine, Sputnik V after it got a green signal by a special committee.

India's drug regulator, the Drugs Controller General of India or DCGI, approved the Russian Covid vaccine, Sputnik V after it got a green signal by a special committee. 850 million doses of the third vaccine to be approved by India are going to be produced annually. Limited doses of the vaccine are going to be available by the end of April.
The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) has reached agreements with five pharmaceutical firms in the country - Gland Pharma, Hetero Biopharma, Panacea Biotec, Stelis Biopharma, Virchow Biotech to produce more than 850 million doses per year.
&nbsp;Manufactured in India by Dr Reddy's, Sputnik V has the highest effectiveness of 91.6 per cent after the Moderna and Pfizer shots. The approval for the third vaccine comes amid a second wave in the country that has seen record daily cases in the last few weeks.

Popular during the first wave Covid-19, the Indian Railways&rsquo; isolation coaches are back in demand amid rising cases.&nbsp;Nandurbar, a Maharashtra district close to Gujarat border, has asked for around 95 coaches and 1,500 beds.&nbsp;The district is currently under lockdown till April 15. A memorandum of understanding signed between Western Railways and the district authorities on April 11 noted that &lsquo;each Covid-19 care rake will have 20 coaches, comprising modified Sleeper and General coaches. &nbsp;Each coach can accommodate 16 patients and will be suitably positioned as mutually agreed upon.

Amid growing calls for opening up vaccination for all age groups and reports of shortage of Covid-19 vaccines, will increasing the gap between 2 doses help?

&nbsp;As India reels under the second wave of coronavirus, there have been calls from several quarters to open vaccination to everyone by removing the age bar. But the proposal has also set off alarms about inadequate supply of vaccines. This in turn has led to suggestions that the gap between two doses of a vaccine should be increased so that maximum population can be inoculated with the life-saving jab.
Is the suggestion feasible? Will it reduce the efficacy of the vaccine? Will it help help solve the demand-supply equation?
Before we get to those answers, first let&rsquo;s see how 2-shot vaccines work.
The job of the first jab is to build immunity, generate the necessary anti-bodies, the job of the second is to ramp up the process and re-inforce the immunity. The body doesn&rsquo;t immediately generate immune response after getting the first dose, it&rsquo;s a slow process and usually takes around 3 weeks.
Dr Gangandeep Kang told Indian Express that it can take up to eight weeks or longer for the antibodies to become fully functional and said that gap between two doses should not be less than 3-4 weeks.
Experts say that the risk with giving the second dose too early is that it doesn&rsquo;t give the immune system enough time to react to the first dose so that it can maximise benefits of the second dose.
However, the required interval between the two doses differs from vaccine. Results of Oxford Vaccine Trials reviewed by The Lancet say that a single dose of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine showed 76% efficacy from day 22 to day 90, which means that efficacy of the drug had not reduced between. The report also suggested 3 months or 12 weeks as an effective gap. Vaccine-maker Pfizer on the other hand has recommended that the gap between jabs of their drug be 3 weeks, and that it should be given after 6 weeks only in special situations.
&nbsp;In India, while Covishield doses are administered in a gap of 6-8 weeks, the cut-off for Covaxin is 4 weeks. In fact, the interval for Covishield earlier was 4-6 weeks but the govt extended it to 4-8 weeks while saying that the protection offered by the drug is enhanced if given between 6-8 weeks. Though it did add that the gap should not be longer than 8 weeks.
Vaccine expert Dr Gangandeep Kang has told India Express that it is worthwhile to increase the interval if it gives a greater degree of protection and provides good immunity with a single dose. This also solves the problem supply constraints, he added. It gives more time for production of more vaccines.
Though he advised against it if one dose of a 2-shot vaccins does not generate good or required amount of immunity.
Countries like UK, Germany, France and Canada have already increased the gap between 2 doses to accelerate the inoculation drive, ensure maximum efficacy and also to deal with shortage of supplies.
France is set to extend the period for mRNA vaccines to 6 weeks from 4 weeks starting April 14. In Germany, the time period has been increased to 12 weeks for the Oxford drug. In UK, the gap was stipulated at 10-12 weeks for all vaccines but the experts called upon them to reduce it for Pfizer. Canada administers it Covid-19 vaccine doses at a gap of 4 months.
Now, given that there is urgent need for maximising vaccination in India that is not helped by the reports of shortfall in vaccine, extending the time between 2 doses of Covishield, which has a recommended gap of 12 weeks, does seem to present itself as a good option. However, Covaxin unlike Covishield is an inactivated vaccine and Dr Kang says that such vaccines do better with shorter intervals.
Whether the Indian govt increase the interval between two jabs are not, the purpose of these vaccines is to decrease the severity of disease, prevent hospitalisation and reduce deaths due to Covid-19. They do not prevent you from contracting the disease all together.
So mask up, wash your hands and maintain appropriate social and physical distance.

With&nbsp;migrant labourers returning to their native places, the impact seems to be more severe in urban areas where the unemployment rate is now reaching 10%.

The Gujarat High Court on Monday pulled up the state govt over the shortage of antiviral drug Remdesivir which is being used to treat <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">Covid-19</a> patients. The court ordered the Gujarat govt to make the medicine available to all, like Paracetamol, amid the surge in Covid-19 cases.

The judges said they want results instead of getting into a blamegame over people's behaviour, production or medicine stocks. The court took cognisance of a PIL which demanded action against people hoarding the medicines or selling them at inflated prices.
The judges rejected the state government&rsquo;s claims that doctors prescribe indiscriminately, though it is a drug meant to be administered only in emergencies. The judges also commented that when injections are available for VIPs, common people shouldn't have to have in queue to get it. The Gujarat govt has been asked to keep proper account of the stock.

Russia's Sputnik V on Monday became the third vaccine against <a href="https://www.editorji.com/covid-19" target="_blank">Covid-19</a> to receive emergency use approval in India. The vaccine has been developed by the Gamaleya Research Institute (GRI) of Russia, and funded and promoted outside by the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).
In India, the RDIF's partner is Dr Reddy's Laboratories, which conducted clinical trials - mandatory for approval of a vaccine. Sputnik-V was also the first vaccine to be announced last year for protection against Covid-19.

Named after the first Soviet space satellite, Sputnik V, showed better efficacy during trials compared to the vaccines already in use in India. Both Covishield and Covaxin have shown an efficacy of around 81% in trials, while Sputnik V returned with 91-92% efficacy.
Roll out of Sputnik is likely to begin end of April or early May, initially demand will be met by imports, domestic manufacturing will be boosted gradually. Vaccine can be given to people over 18 years of age. The RDIF&nbsp;is working on the pricing of the vaccine with the govt.
