The government of India is now going to ramp up the process of corona vaccination but before this, the period between the second dose after the first dose of the vaccine for Covishield was 28 days but now it has been increased to about 12 to 16 weeks. In such a situation, those who had taken the first dose of the vaccine had to take the second dose after 28 days through registration but now after the period is rescheduled, many people will not be aware that the second dose will be less. After the government has extended the period between the first and second doses, those who have taken the 1st dose will have to make an appointment for the 2nd dose via the cowin app or portal. As this appointment is not going to be booked automatically through the app and you have to do this manually.
Covid Vaccine 2nd Dose Registration
During the coronavirus vaccination period, Covishield vaccine appointments are now only scheduled 12 weeks later. According to the Indian government, the online appointment for the second dose of Covishield will be made in 84 days. At the same time, the government stated that people who have booked a second dose of Covishield will not affect by it and those who now want to do an appointment can do it only after 84 days. In view of the long interval between two doses of the Covishield vaccine, the CoWIN digital portal is also making changes. As the Cowin Digital Portal is making the necessary changes to show the 12 to the 16-week difference between the two Covishield doses. The online appointment did in advance for the second dose of Covishield will be valid and will not be cancelled by Cowin.
There has been no change in the duration of the Covaxin Vaccine manufactured by Bharat Biotech, but the period between the 1st and 2nd doses of the Covishield manufactured by SII has been increased. Now after getting the 1st dose of vaccine, you will be given the 2nd dose of Covishield after about 12 to 16 weeks and this period has been extended only after the advice of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization. Because they believed that the infected person is not getting much effectiveness when given the vaccine within a gap of 28 days. In such a situation, a good effect of the vaccine will be seen if a second dose is given at the 12 to 16 week gap.
