Allow Covishield 2nd Dose After 4 Weeks, Kerala High Court Orders Centre

The centre was also asked by the Kerala High Court to make changes to the CoWIN app to enable a reduced dose.

As Kerala battles a surge in Covid cases, the High Court today ordered the Centre to allow a second dose of Covishield after a four-week gap instead of 12 weeks. The government was also asked to make changes to the CoWIN app to enable a reduced dose gap for "those who want it". The Kerala High Court said: "It is, however, made clear that I have not considered the question whether a person is entitled to make a choice between early protection and better protection from the Covid infection in the matter of accepting the free vaccine provided by the government."
