WHO chief scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan on Monday warned against mixing of different Covid-19 vaccines, adding that the World Health Organisation is still in a data free and evidence-free zone as far as mix and match of vaccines is concerned.Calling it a dangerous trend, Swaminathan&nbsp;cautioned that it lead to chaos in many countries if citizens start deciding when and who will be taking a second, third, and fourth dose. The scientist said that while initial data may indicate that mixing vaccines might be a good approach, the long term impact remains unknown.
Swaminathan&nbsp;added that currently, only data on the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine and Pfizer vaccine is available. Most vaccines that are currently in use are double doses, with prescribed intervals between the 2 shots.&nbsp;

Covid-19 pandemic isn’t slowing down, WHO chief scientist warns

WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan&nbsp;said there was clear evidence that the coronavirus pandemic isn&rsquo;t slowing down

WHO chief scientist: clear evidence pandemic isn't slowing down&nbsp;
Soumya Swaminathan attributed continuous&nbsp;spread of Covid&nbsp;to four factors
Swaminathan&nbsp;said cases are rising in five of six WHO regions
Virus spread due to Delta variant, social mixing, easing curbs, slow vaccination
Swaminathan:&nbsp;a person infected with Delta variant could infect 8 others
&nbsp;

WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan&nbsp;attributed the continuous spread of Covid-19&nbsp;to the Delta variant, social mixing, ease in lockdown restrictions and slow pace of vaccination.

World Health Organisation&rsquo;s chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan said in a recent interview with the Bloomberg there was clear evidence that the coronavirus pandemic isn&rsquo;t slowing down.
Swaminathan&nbsp; said cases are rising in five of six WHO regions, and mortality rates in Africa have jumped by 30% to 40% in two weeks
She attributed the continuous spread of the virus to the Delta variant, social mixing, ease in lockdown restrictions and slow pace of vaccination.
She said if one person infected by the original virus could infect close to three people, a person infected with the Delta variant could infect close to 8 people.
She pointed out large parts of the world still face oxygen shortages, a lack of hospital beds and higher mortality.

Even as some governments and pharma companies plan for a booster shot of Covid vaccines to tackle the more infectious strains, the World Health Organisation has said that it's too early to say whether it's needed or not.
WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan has said that the "science is still evolving" on the issue and that there is currently not enough information to recommend one way or the other, news agency Bloomberg has reported. 
Swaminathan termed the calls for booster shots "premature" when even the most high-risk individuals in most countries haven't got their first shot.
Data from countries introducing precautionary extra inoculations later this year -- particularly for vulnerable people whose immunity to SARS-CoV-2 may wane faster -- will inform WHO's guidance, she said.
Covid booster shots are likely to be rolled out in U.K. in the fall to avoid another winter surge.

The World Health Organisation has come out strongly in support of patent waiver on Covid vaccines. The WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan on Monday told ANI that the world body strongly believes that the patents waiver proposed by India and South Africa should be done.
"This is not the time to worry about patents and profits amid the pandemic,"she stated.
As trade experts have warned that WTO negotiation of waiver of intellectual property rights could take months, Swaminathan said that the body would like to see that happening "very quickly" at the WTO.
In October last year, India and South Africa, alongwith 57 members of WTO, had proposed a patents waiver on Covid-19 vaccine to widen their access. The US has supported the move, while Germany has opposed it.

Covid vaccine trial pause a wake-up call: WHO

The World Health Organisation has said that the pause on the trials of the Oxford Covid vaccine is a "wake-up call", but&nbsp; it should "not discourage researchers"

The World Health Organisation has said that the pause on the trials of the Oxford Covid vaccine is a "wake-up call". The world body, however, added that it should not discourage researchers. "This is a wake-up call to recognise that there are ups and downs in clinical development and that we have to be prepared," WHO chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan told a virtual briefing from Geneva. Pharma giant AstraZeneca suspended late-stage trials of vaccine this week after a participant in Britain suffered from neurological symptoms.

Expect Covid vaccine distribution in mid-2021: WHO

The large-scale global distribution of vaccines against Covid-19 is not expected until mid-2021, the World Health Organization&rsquo;s chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan&nbsp;has said

The large-scale global distribution of vaccines against Covid-19 is not expected until mid-2021, the World Health Organization&rsquo;s chief scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan told a press briefing on Friday. She said that the second half or the middle of 2021 looks like a realistic bet when "we can start seeing doses actually flowing into countries so that they can start to immunize their populations,&rdquo; Swaminathan said. This timeline is based on the fact that Phase 3 trials of many candidate vaccines are not expected to be concluded until the end of the current year, the WHO&rsquo;s chief scientist added.
