Do Not Give Painkillers To Teens After Covaxin Shot, Says Vaccine-Maker
NDTV
Last month, the DCGI had granted emergency use authorisation to indigenously-developed Bharat Biotech's Covaxin for children above 12 years with certain conditions.
Bharat Biotech on Wednesday said no painkillers or paracetamol are recommended after being vaccinated with its COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin.
Stating that it has received feedback that certain immunisation centres are recommending taking three paracetamol 500mg tablets along with Covaxin for children, the company clarified that such a step was not required.
"No paracetamol or painkillers are recommended after being vaccinated with Covaxin," Bharat Biotech said in a tweet.
Paracetamol was recommended along with certain other COVID-19 vaccines and is not recommended for Covaxin, it asserted.
