Those travelling abroad, Olympic contingent allowed to take second dose within 28 days
The Kerala High Court on Tuesday asked the Centre why it cannot allow a willing person to take a paid second dose of Covishield vaccine, before the completion of the 84-day gap, especially when the government has allowed those travelling abroad for education and employment purposes to take the second shot within 28 days of the first jab. Justice P.B. Suresh Kumar threw the the question at the Centre during the hearing on a writ petition by Kitex Garments Ltd., Kochi, seeking a directive to the State government to allow it to administer the second dose of Covishield vaccine to its workers before the completion of the 84-day gap. The Judge orally observed that the Centre had deviated from its stand on the gap between the two doses when it had allowed those who intended to travel abroad for education and employment and the Tokyo Olympic contingent to take their second shot of Covishield within 28 days of their first jab. Probably, it was done as per the advice of the experts.
