Is 84-day gap between Covishield vaccines based on availability or efficacy, Kerala HC asks Centre
The Hindu
The court was hearing a petition by Kitex Garments, which sought to administer second dose of vaccine earlier than 84 days.
The Kerala High Court on Tuesday asked the Centre to clarify on what basis the 84-day gap between two doses of Covishield had been prescribed. The court said that it wanted to know whether the stipulation of the 84-day interval between the two doses of Covishield was based on the availability of the vaccine or its efficacy. Justice P.B. Suresh Kumar sought the clarification when a writ petition by Kitex Garments Ltd, Kochi, seeking a directive to the State government to allow it to administer the second dose of Covishield vaccine to its workers without following the 84 day-gaps came up for hearing.
