New Delhi: The Central government has taken a stand on a series of rumours on social media about corona's indigenous covaxin. The vaccine's mixing of the blood of the cow's newborn calf had been going viral on social media for the past several days. The Central Government has now rejected the claim saying that the facts in the case have been distorted and misrepresented.

A statement issued by the Health Minister said that the blood of the newborn calf is used only to prepare and develop verro cells. National convener gaurav pandhi in the Congress social media department had cited a RTI's reply alleging that a 20-day-old calf is killed in the preparation of the vaccine. The Ministry said that different types of bovine and other animals have been used for the growth of vero cells all over the world.

It is a global standard process, but it is used only at an early stage. It is not used in the last phase of production of the vaccine. In this way, it cannot be called part of the vaccine. The ministry said it has been used in Polio, rabies and influenza drugs for decades. The ministry said that vero cells are sometimes washed with water and chemicals after they are developed.
