Now, second Covishield dose can be taken between 8-16 weeks after first dose

Reducing the dosage interval for Covishield, the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) has said the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine can now be taken eight to 16 weeks after the first shot.

Data shows that when the second dose of Covishield is given eight weeks onwards, the antibody response generated is almost similar when administered at an interval of 12 to 16 weeks.
