NEW DELHI : COVID Task Force chief V K Paul on Tuesday advocated that India should have vaccine platforms that are 'adaptable quickly' with changing nature of the variants.
Statement comes amid growing concerns of the new coronavirus variant Omicron. "There is a potential scenario that our vaccines may become ineffective in emerging situations. "In the wake of the last three weeks of living with Omicron, we have seen how such doubts have come up some of them may be genuine, we still do not have the final picture," he said.
Addressing an event organised by industry body CII, Paul said he hopes that Covid-19 in India is possibly moving in the direction of endemicity, where there is a low or moderate level of transmission going on.
