ICMR issues clarification over Covid vaccine side-effects

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), which studied the cause of death in people after recovering from Covid-19 infection, found that those who were vaccinated before contracting the virus had 60 per cent protection against post-discharge mortality.

An expert team working at the National Clinical Registry for Covid evaluated factors related to post-discharge mortality during the first year after Covid, and found that vaccination prior to coronavirus infection, with at least a single dose, provided 60 per cent protection against post-discharge mortality, ICMR said.
