Information about COVID vaccine
Hi doctor,
I just want to know one thing about the duration between 1st and 2nd dosage of COVID vaccination. Is it mandatory to apply 2nd vaccine after 40 days .. what happens if there is a gap of 60 days between 2 dosages. Will vaccine won't work in effective way as it should be??
Looking forward to your response.
Regards,
Kavita
