Interval between Covishield vaccine doses likely to be eight to 12 weeks

Officials had earlier said second dose will be administered four weeks after the first one. But fresh recommendations from WHO suggest otherwise, giving rise to dropout fears.

Those who received the first dose of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine (Covishiled) in Nepal in the last few weeks are likely to get their second jab only after 8 to 12 weeks—at least four weeks behind the pre-planned schedule.
