Two volunteers were given doses of the ‘Covishield’ vaccine, made by Oxford and being manufactured by Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII), at Bharti Vidyapeeth Medical College and Hospital at its Katraj campus on Wednesday. A day later, three more volunteers, two females and a male, were given shots of the vaccine. “We are in touch with the two candidates who were given vaccine doses. We will continue to monitor all the candidates being given the shots,” said Dr Oswal. “We are planning to inject vaccine doses in at least 25 candidates within a week,” said Lalwani.
