Regarding Vaccination
Dear Experts,
My Father tested with COVID Positive a month before and took treatment for COVID. Dr told stearoids are already taken during medication time and not advisable to take Second dose in next three months. And frineds circle & health centre people are advising to take next shot as well... pls advise on this.. Is it advisable to take next shot now?
If so, he had Covaxin dose 1 and do we need to go the same Covaxin brand for dose 2 too? Or is it okay to go any brand either Covaxin or covishield for dose 2?
Many may have this questions, experts comment would really help them to move forward...
Looking forward your kind responses...
Thank you!

At the out set he is already having antibodies after covid infection. He is protected by the same.
Let him take second dose after 3 to 5months which will boost his immunity. He is advised to take same vaccination which he has taken 1st dose.
