Jab For Covid-Recovered After 6 Months, Suggests Government Panel: Report

COVID-19 Vaccine India: The same panel has also said the gap between two doses of Covishield should be increased to 12 to 16 weeks and pregnant women should be able to choose their vaccine, news agency Press Trust of India said today.

Those who test positive for COVID-19 should not go for vaccination for six months after recovery, a government panel has recommended, according to sources quoted by Press Trust of India. The same panel has also said the gap between two doses of Covishield should be increased to 12 to 16 weeks and pregnant women should be able to choose their vaccine, PTI said today. No change has been suggested for the dosage interval of Covaxin. These recommendations are by the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) that held a meeting recently. Those who have received the first dose of vaccine and test positive before the second shot should wait for four to eight weeks after recovering from the infection, the panel has reportedly recommended.
