Let us tell you that the covishield chimpanzee is a vaccine based on an adenovirus vector. In this, the virus that infects chimpanzees has been genetically modified so that it cannot spread to humans. A part of this modified virus is the coronavirus, which is called the spike protein.
This vaccine creates an immune response in the body that works on the spike protein. This vaccine produces antibodies and memory cells, which helps in identifying the virus. Scientists claim that this vaccine works to generate antibodies against the corona.
Covishield’s efficacy rate is 70 percent, which can be increased to 90 percent with other doses after about a month. It can not only give relief in asymptomatic infections but can also make rapid recovery.
