The government has approved Biological E’s Corbevax as a precautionary dose for those above 18 years fully vaccinated with either Covishield or Covaxin, official sources said on Wednesday.

The sources told PTI that the Union Health Ministry’s approval is based on the recommendations made recently by the COVID-19 Working Group of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI).
