Some doctors objected to the increase in the vaccine gap between the two doses of Kovid vaccine. The Centre’s Covid-19 task force and a team of AIIMS doctors said that if not vaccinated selectively, it could increase the risk of developing some more mutant strains. According to the Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore, even if the vaccine is relieved, increasing the interval between the two doses will reduce the risk of the body losing its immunity to a single strain. The same was said on Friday by Anthony Fouchi, a health adviser to the Joe Biden administration in the United States and an infectious disease specialist.
And then again, the Centre’s decision to widen the two-dose gap was met with criticism. Speaking on behalf of the Center yesterday, VK Pal said, Experts will decide on this. They should have confidence in their decision. By the way, a total of 2 crore 48 lakh 85 thousand 649 people have been vaccinated in India so far.
