<p>Drugs Controller General doctor Venugopal G Somani said that both vaccines will be administered in two dosages.</p>
<p>The country’s initial immunisation plan aims to vaccinate 300 million people — health care workers, front-line staff including police and those considered vulnerable due to their age or other diseases — by August 2021.</p>
<p>The Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturing company, has been contracted by AstraZeneca to make a billion doses for developing nations, including India.</p>
<p>On Friday, Britain became the first to approve the shot.</p>
<p>The other vaccine known as COVAXIN is developed by Bharat Biotech in collaboration with government agencies and is based on an inactivated form of the coronavirus.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The company has completed only two of three trial phases and the third, which tests for efficacy, began testing in mid-November.</p>
<p>Early clinical studies showed that the vaccine does not have any serious side effects and produces antibodies for Covid-19.</p>
<p>India, with nearly 1.4 billion people, is the second-worst affected by the coronavirus after the US, with over 10.3 million confirmed cases and 149,435 deaths, though its rate of infection has come down significantly from a mid-September peak.</p>
<p>An application for a vaccine made by Pfizer is still being reviewed.</p>
