After applying two doses of the vaccine, a side effect, an allergic reaction will be seen. What amount of corona antibodies are formed and for how long? Record of this will be kept.

After this, a cavid test will be done. A second dose will be given when a negative report arrives. There will be a Kovid test again after 14 days. Antibodies will be screened. The corona virus has three types of proteins. The `M` protein reaches inside the body. This virus dies when antibodies develop.
Inactive viruses have been used in Corona`s homegrown vaccine. There is no risk of becoming corona infected after applying the vaccine. Those who will be tried will remain at their home.
