'BHU study on Covaxin side effects poorly designed, erroneously acknowledges ICMR'

The Indian Council of Medical Research Director General Rajiv Bahl on Monday criticised a recently published study on the longterm safety analysis of the Covaxin in adults and adolescents for its poor methodology and design, and clarified the article misleadingly and erroneously "acknowledges" ICMR.

Bahl said the study had no control arm of unvaccinated individuals for comparing the rates of events between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. Hence, the reported events in the study cannot be linked or attributed.

to COVID-19 vaccination. The ICMR is not associated with the study and has not provided any financial or technical support for the research, Bahl said. The ICMR DG has written a letter to the authors of the paper and editor of the journal to immediately remove the acknowledgement to ICMR and publish an erratum.
