Hyderabad: The third Covid wave led by the Omicron variant has started in India. Although the initial data indicates that this wave will be milder than the previous Delta one with less hospitalisation, still a large section of the population might get affected, founder and chairman of Asian Institute of Gastroenterology (AIG) Hospitals, Dr D Nageshwar Reddy on Monday said.

“At this point, when the Government of India approved ‘Prevention’ vaccine doses for the healthcare workers, elderly, and the vulnerable population, it is important to find out the cross-immunity generated by mixing of the available vaccines. It is also crucial that the safety profiles are well-established before administrating different vaccines as prevention or booster dose,” Dr Nageshwar Reddy pointed out.
