The Centre also clarified that the above instruction is only for Covishield and not Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin. “This decision of revised time interval between two doses is applicable ONLY to COVISHIELD and NOT to COVAXIN Vaccine,” the government’s press release stated.
The government stated that, as per scientific data, protection is enhanced if the second dose of Covishield is administered between 6-8 weeks, but not later than the stipulated period of 8 weeks.
