Even if the vaccines prove safe — a reasonable assumption based on current information — managing the reporting and follow-up of what are known as adverse drug reactions will be critical to keeping to the high levels of public participation needed for a vaccination program to be successful.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to send daily texts to those who are vaccinated for the first week and then weekly texts for six weeks, while the Food and Drug Administration will also be monitoring side effects in real time.It’s not clear if the UK’s monitoring system will have similar capabilities by the time the vaccine is rolled out.

Forbearance masking bad loans emanating from covid-19 distress, says S&P

₹26,000 crore, data compiled by Mint showed.In fact, collection rates, which improved sharply in the second quarter to an average 95%, may also wane, S&P said.“This trend is aided by the pickup in economic activity since lockdowns ended and, in many cases, by the financial savings of the borrowers. Given that overall economic activity levels remain soft, savings could deplete fast, potentially hurting future collections," it said.According to the rating agency, since RBI has allowed a one-time restructuring of loans, slippages could decline in the current fiscal year, but it may delay recognition to the next year or so.

1991 To TodayEven though good fortune played its part, the development of what Oxford scientists hailed as "a vaccine for the world" was built upon 30 years of testing and tweaking of methods.The adenovirus "viral vector" platform that their candidate uses has been around since 1991, said Hill of the university's Jenner Institute.He had been working with Sarah Gilbert, another vaccinologist, to fine-tune the technology.
