Covishield Second Dose Gap

India's apex body on immunisation NTAGI has recommended administering the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine Covishield between eight and 16 weeks after the first dose.

The Kerala High Court has set aside its September order that directed the centre to allow a second dose of Covishield (for those eligible) after a four-week gap instead of the currently mandated 84 days.

The Centre today filed an appeal in the Kerala High Court against its order allowing the second Covishield dose after four weeks from the first for those who want to take it earlier than the present suggested gap of 84 days

The Kerala High Court today ordered the Centre to allow a second dose of Covishield after a four-week gap instead of 12.

Vaccination and curbs are not going to stop breakthrough cases as no vaccine is 100% effective, but almost all of them, when fully vaccinated, provide very high levels of protection from severe illness and death.

How did the Kerala government deviate from the vaccination schedule set by the central government and what was the reason for the Centre to increase the gap between first and second dose of COVISHIELD from 4 weeks to 12-16 weeks?

The Delhi High Court today refused to entertain a plea seeking reduction of the 12-16 week interval for the second dose of Covishield vaccine to eight weeks for persons over 50 years of age and those having comorbidities.

The second dose of coronavirus vaccine Covishield can be administered to people travelling abroad for work, education or sports before the prescribed 84 days interval, the government said in a statement.

Bookings done for the second dose of Covishield vaccine won't be cancelled despite the gap after the first recently being extended, the Union Health Ministry has clarified.

The gap between the first and second doses of the Covishield COVID-19 vaccine can be increased to 12-16 weeks - from the existing six-eight weeks - the government said Thursday, adding that there are no recommended changes in Covaxin dosage interval

Centre writes to states to increase gap between 2 doses of Covishield to 6-8 weeks based on experts' recommendation
