Explanation:

COVISHIELD is a potential vaccine against SARS-COV-2 virus that has been granted approval for Phase II+III clinical trials in India by Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI).
It is the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine developed by the Oxford University. The Serum Institute of India, partner in production of the vaccine, has named the product as COVISHIELD.

Note: ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 is made from a virus (ChAdOx1), which is a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) that causes infections in chimpanzees, that has been genetically changed so that it is impossible for it to replicate in humans.
