Covishield dose interval under discussion: NTAGI working group chairman

Covishield dose interval under discussion: NTAGI working group chairman

The Hindu
Wednesday, June 16, 2021 7:52 AM GMT

Decision to increase the gap between two doses of Covishield from 4-6 weeks to 12-16 weeks was based on scientific decision, says Dr. N.K. Arora

Discussions are underway whether India should revert to four or eight weeks interval for Covishield vaccine and the emerging evidence regarding efficacy of partial versus full immunisation is also being considered, Chairman of India’s COVID-19 Working Group of NTAGI, Dr. N.K. Arora said. He stressed that the decision to increase the gap between two doses of Covishield from 4-6 weeks to 12-16 weeks was based on scientific decision and there was no dissenting voice among the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) members. “COVID-19 and the vaccination are very dynamic. Tomorrow, if the vaccine platform tells us that a narrower interval is better for our people, even if the benefit is 5%-10%, the Committee will take the decision on the basis of merit and its wisdom. On the other hand, if it turns out that the current decision is fine, we will continue with it,” Dr. Arora said.
