Covid 2nd dose
My granny who is 65 years old had her first dose of covacine on 12th March but on 17th-18th April she started showing covid symptoms but was tested negative for covid (highly likely it was false negative, as mentioned in the report as well) but now she has started feeling better (appox.since 28th April). We were just hoping to know when can she get her 2nd dose of covacine?

As per Guidelines 2nd dose of COVISHIELD/ COVAXIN should be 6 weeks after 1st dose.
But as she was covid positive 2nd dose should be taken 2 weeks after covid negative results(minimum gap between 1st and 2nd dose should be 4 to 6 weeks)
