second Covid jab on the same arm as the first one or on the opposite arm could influence the body's immune response generated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, new research from Germany says. Those who got jabbed on the same side, or ipsilaterally, generated more antibodies against the Covid-causing pathogen than those who got jabbed on the opposite side, or contralaterally, the study from Saarland University and other German institutes found. Further, median levels of infection-fighting CD8 T-cells generated in response to the spike-protein of the pathogen were found to be significantly lower in those contralaterally vaccinated. CD8 T-cells destroy virus-infected cells and render protection against severe disease. Consequently, after contralateral vaccination, fewer individuals (43 per cent) were found to have detectable levels of CD8 T-cells than after ipsilateral vaccination (67 per cent), the study published in the journal eBioMedicine said. Individual doses of two-dose vaccine-regimens are consecutively administered into the deltoid muscle, which is the large triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint. However, «little attention has so far been paid to the immunological effects of choosing the ipsilateral or the contralateral side for the second dose,» the authors wrote in the study.

Murlikant Petkar? I have performed the same drill in many of my talks. Rarely have I seen a hand go up. It’s a painful sight. And a proof that India still has distance to travel to become an inclusive, equal and a multisport nation. Petkar, now 77, is a war hero and the winner of India’s first-ever Paralympics gold medal. He won the gold in the 50m freestyle (swimming) in 1972 in Heidelberg, Germany with a then world record time. And that after he had sustained multiple bullet wounds, nine to be precise, in the 1965 India-Pakistan war. That he was still alive was a miracle. But he did not give up and went on to win multiple international medals thereafter to make his feat one of the greatest ever achievements in the history of Indian sport. Yet, very few know about him. Maybe with Kabir Khan now working on a biopic of Petkar with Kartik Aaryan in the lead, things will change. Like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag made Milkha Singh a household name to the current generation. Singh’s exploits in the 1960 Rome Olympics, which the film revisits and helps contextualise, have been restored to their rightful place in the public imagination. Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chak De!
