Coronavirus Head Nk Arora

India's fight against COVID-19 is shaping up much better than neighbouring China due to robust "hybrid immunity", the head of the country's vaccine task force told NDTV today in an exclusive interview.

New COVID-19 variants will keep coming, however, the new variants aren't causing severe diseases or increasing the number of cases said Chairman of the COVID-19 working group of India said.

Molnupiravir used in treatment of Covid should not be administered to younger population as it adversely affects their reproductive system, said Dr NK Arora, Chairman of Covid Working Group of National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI)

A large chunk of Omicron cases in India as the country faces a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic have been reported from big cities, the head of the country's vaccine task force Dr NK Arora told NDTV today, adding the third wave is here.

The doctor heading India's vaccine rollout today defended the decision to delay a roll out of booster doses in the country. ''What is true for Israel, for Europe or North America may not be truly applicable here,'' said Dr. NK Arora.

Vaccination for children will start by September with the Zydus vaccine for 12 to 18-year-olds, Dr NK Arora, who heads the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration, has told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
