 Covid 19 Vaccines COVAXIN ® , India ' s indigenous  COVID-19 vaccine  by Bharat Biotech is developed in collaboration with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) - National Institute of Virology (NIV).

The vaccine is developed using  Whole-Virion Inactivated Vero Cell  derived platform technology. Inactivated vaccines do not replicate and are therefore unlikely to revert and cause pathological effects. They contain dead virus, incapable of infecting people but still able to instruct the immune system to mount a defensive reaction against an infection.
