A study by Christian Medical College, Vellore states that antibody count rises six-fold if a booster dose of Covishield is administered after two doses of Covaxin.

The preliminary study was submitted to the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) on Wednesday, 16 March 2022, and was reported about by The Indian Express.

It's important to note that currently India does not have a mixed-dose booster policy. The current 'precautionary doses' being given are the same as the primary two doses.
