Centre has written to States and Union Territories to
increase the interval between two doses of COVISHIELD to 4 to 8 weeks
based on recommendation of National Technical Advisory Group on
Immunization, NTAGI and National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration
for COVID-19, NEGVAC. This decision of revised time interval between two
doses is applicable only to COVISHIELD and not to COVAXIN Vaccine.
In view of the emerging scientific
evidence, the interval between two doses of a specific COVID-19 vaccine -
COVISHIELD, has been revisited by NTAGI and subsequently by NEGVAC in
its 20th meeting. During this meeting the recommendation has been
revised to provide 2nd dose of COVISHIELD at 4 to 8 weeks’ interval
after the 1st dose, instead of earlier practiced interval of 4 to 6
weeks. Union Health Ministry said, Government has accepted the
recommendations of both the expert groups.
