INCOVACC is a vaccine developed for the prevention of the COVID-19 disease, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is one of the many vaccines developed globally to combat the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Development
The development of INCOVACC was initiated in response to the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The vaccine was developed using the viral vector technology, which uses a harmless virus to deliver a piece of the SARS-CoV-2 virus's genetic material into cells to stimulate an immune response.
Efficacy
Like other COVID-19 vaccines, the efficacy of INCOVACC is measured by its ability to prevent COVID-19 disease, particularly severe disease and hospitalization. Clinical trials are conducted to determine the vaccine's efficacy, with results typically reported as a percentage.
Safety
The safety of INCOVACC, like all vaccines, is of paramount importance. Before being approved for use, the vaccine undergoes rigorous testing in clinical trials to ensure its safety. This includes monitoring for any adverse events following immunization.
Distribution
Once approved, the distribution of INCOVACC involves a complex logistical operation. This includes ensuring the vaccine's cold chain is maintained during transport and storage, as well as coordinating vaccination programs to ensure those most at risk are vaccinated first.
