Covishield vaccine info
Hello Doctor,
My father has taken his first dose of Covishield on April 5th.
Now a days we are hearing different statements on the duration to have between 1st and 2nd dose.
I would like to check if he can go for the 2nd dose of vaccine after 4weeks or 6weeks from the day he took the 1st dose.
Please suggest.
Thanks.
