₹225 per dose plus applicable GST. The move comes after a letter was written by Prakash Kumar Singh, Director, Serum Institute of India (SII) to the Union health ministry on March 27, the sources said.

As per an official source, Singh had reportedly stated in his letter to the ministry that Covovax, which has been approved by DCGI, WHO, and USFDA, is a world-class vaccine.

He further advocated for its inclusion on the CoWIN portal as a heterologous booster dose for adults. Covovax can be administered to those who have already been vaccinated with Covishield or Covaxin.

The COVID-19 Working Group, led by Dr. N.K. Arora, had reportedly recommended to the Health Ministry last month that Covovax be included on the CoWIN portal as a heterologous booster dose for adults who have already received two doses of either Covishield or Covaxin.

NASA’s new black hole video is both terrifying and astonishing

Some of the holes are so big they make our solar system look like a speck of dust.“Only one of these colossal objects resides in our own galaxy, and it lies 26,000 light-years away,” the agency wrote, referring to supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, which was first photographed just last year.Real and conceptual images of black holes don’t actually show the black hole itself, but rather a luminous disc surrounding the hole that’s comprised of gas and dusk, called an “accretion disc.”This immensely hot disc is swirly rapidly around the black hole and while some of it will fall in and never be seen again, most of it gets spit back out.“Black holes are terrible at eating things.
