This is the first Covid-19 vaccine in the world that has reported 100 per cent efficacy on children. Phase 3 trials carried out on 2,260 adolescents in the United States "demonstrated 100 percent efficacy and robust antibody responses", the companies said in a statement. They are eyeing approval for adolescents to get the jabs before the next school year. So far, the global Covid-19 vaccination drive has primarily concentrated on vaccinating adults in ab- sence of reliable efficacy data of vaccines among children and older teens. But experts say vaccinating children is crucial to ending the pandemic. The nation is unlikely to achieve herd immunity — when enough people in a given community have antibodies against a specific disease — until children can get vaccinated. &2521$ +23$/ 5(3257(' &$6(6 21 #('1(6'$< 727$/ 2) 6$03/(6 :(5( 6(17 )25 7(67,1* +( &2521$ 326,7,9( 5$7( ,1 +23$/ ,6 %287 7:2 '2=(1 352)(66256 $1' 7($&+(56 2) $5.$78//$+ !1,9(56,7< ! +$9( 7(67(' 29,' 326,7,9( +23$/>6 $&7,9( :+,/( &$6(6 :(17 83 72 7+( 180%(5 2) $&7,9( &$6(6 ,1 7+( $'-$&(17 ',675,&76 2) +23$/ $/62 &217,18(' 72 ,1&5($6( $&7,9( ",',6+$ 5(3257(' &$6(6 :,7+ &2521$ &$6(6 :+,/( (+25( 5(3257(' $&7,9( &$6(6 $1' $,6(1 $&7,9( &$6(6 5(3257(' +23$/>6 7$//< :(17 83 72 $1' '($7+ 72// 72 corona cases and Ujjain reported 715 active cases with 70 corona cases.

Brazil says ‘no’ to Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin Brazil’s health regulator Anvisa – short for the Portuguese Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitári -- has denied permission to import Bharat Biotech's vaccine Covaxin after authorities concluded that the plant in which the jab is made did not meet good manufacturing practices (GMP). Reacting to it, the Hyderabad-based vaccine maker said it is working towards resolving the issues cited during the inspection and the order of 20 million doses from the Brazilian government is still active. The regulator apparently had a rethink due to the absence of some key documents and lack of what it describes as GMP issues. Bharat Biotech in an email reply did not comment on the hiccups. &' % C , $ $! ( India bounced back big way but not out of woods; real GDP growth to be 7.5 to 12.5 per cent: WB India's has economy bounced back amazingly from the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide lockdown over the last one year, but it is not out of the woods yet, according to the World Bank, which in its latest report has predicted that the country's real GDP growth for fiscal year 21/22 could range from 7.5 to 12.5 per cent. The Washington-based global lender, in its latest South Asia Economic Focus report released ahead of the annual Spring meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said that the economy was already slowing when the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded. After reaching 8.3 per cent in FY17, growth decelerated to 4.0 per cent in FY20, it said. The slowdown was caused by a decline in private consumption growth and shocks to the financial sector (the collapse of a large non-bank finance incomwhich stitution), pounded pre-existing weaknesses in investment, it said. Given the significant uncertainty pertaining to both epidemiological and policy developments, the real GDP growth for FY21/22 can range from 7.5 to 12.5 per cent, depending on how the ongoing vaccination campaign proceeds, whether new restrictions to mobility are required, and how quickly the world economy recovers, the World Bank said.

The HC said the top cop failed in his duty as a commissioner by not filing an FIR against his boss Deshmukh despite being privy to the fact that he was allegedly involved in wrongdoing. A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Girish Kulkarni also asked Singh how it could order the CBI to probe the matter -- as requested by the latter -- when there was no FIR in the case. The judges, after hearing lengthy arguments from $ % "#$ $ & $ & $ " " $ !" & $ " # % $ " $$ " various parties, including the state, closed the matter for orders on a limited point, i.e. the preliminary objection raised by the state government while opposing a CBI probe in the absence of an FIR. “We fail to understand under what law can the CBI be ordered to probe when there is no FIR at all,” CJ Datta told senior counsel Vikram Nankani, appearing for Singh. “Which law allows a court to order probe by CBI in absence of any FIR? There isn’t any law as such,” the judges said. the BMC administration has laid stress on completion of major projects that are already announced while no new scheme is included in it. The civic body administrator has stressed the need for completion of major projects that are essential for the city . BMC will restore and develop new parks at an expenditure of Rs 1,507.53 lakh, while the civic body will spend Rs 70 crore on road maintenance. # PSC prelims postponed due to Covid-19; likely to be held on June 20 MP Public Service Comon (MPPSC) mission Wednesday postponed the state service preliminary exam-2020 citing Covid-19 situation in the state.
