Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his Saturday’s address to the nation, had said that the world’s first DNA vaccine against the Covid-19 will soon be available for the vaccination drive. The DNA vaccine, produced by pharmaceutical company Zydus Cadila, had received Emergency Use Authorisation to supply one crore doses of ZyCoV-D (the world’s first Plasmid DNA Vaccine) in August.
The world’s first DNA vaccine will be administered using a needle-free applicator called “PharmaJet”, as opposed to the traditional syringes. A needle-free applicator ensures painless intradermal vaccine delivery, which also leads to a significant reduction in any kind of major side effects.
Zydus Cadila has received an order to supply one crore doses of ZyCoV-D to the Government of India at ₹265 per dose and the needle-free applicator being offered at ₹93 per dose, excluding GST.
The three doses of ZyCoV-D are to be administered 28 days apart.
