The vaccines are protective shields to prevent the severity of infection and fatality. It has also gone a long way in reducing chances of infection. The low rate of breakthrough infection bears testimony to the potential efficacy and effectiveness of Covishield and Covaxin jabs being administered to people in the State, they added.
