Houston (US), Dec 31 (ANI): With the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) of COVID-19 vaccine Corbevax to launch in India, Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director of the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development and dean at Baylor's National School of Tropical Medicine said that affordable and effective COVID-19 vaccine Corbevax will be helpful for India and neighbouring countries as the large population remain unvaccinated. While speaking to ANI on December 30, Hotez said, “Given the urgency, Corbevax will be helpful not only for India but globally as most of the African continent, neighbouring countries around India remain largely unvaccinated. Emergency Use Authorisation of Corbevax in India for adults 18 and older will have a great pediatric profile as well because parents have been giving same technology (as in vaccine) to their kids for decades. We hope that (its) possibility as a booster will follow.” Corbevax was created at the Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development in Houston has received emergency use authorization in India, after nearly 10 years of research.
