Brief Answer:
You can use covaxin
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you are safe to take the covaxin. The covaxin is composed of inactivated hole virion in not an RNA vaccine.
It is used for people over 18 as well as for 15-18 years.
The same dosage of vaccine is used for over 18 and for 15-18 years.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
