2nd.Dose of Covaxin in Delhi must be Provided on Regular Basis

Bureau,Odishabarta

Second dose of Covaxin in Delhi must be provided on regular basis with walk-in facility for those who have been provided first dose of corona vaccination

New Delhi:Most of the vaccination-centres providing Covaxin in Delhi are lying closed for last some days depriving those having already taken Covaxin as first dose to get the much-required second dose. Extra gap between first and second dose may become a big health-hazard because effect of first dose developing anti-bodies becoming nullified without second dose to serve as booster. Central government should for time being immediately arrange Covaxin in Delhi with pre-condition that it will be used only as second dose till supply is made normal.

Till supply of Covaxin is normal, it should be ensured that Covaxin may for time being be provided only as second dose at all centres having provided Covaxin as first dose with walk-in facility without registration as was done while providing first dose of Covaxin. For time being Covaxin as first dose may be stopped for all age-groups of people till supply is normal.

However Covaxin may be provided as first dose first to age-group of 45 and above, and then to age-group of 30-45 years and thereafter in age-group of 18-30 years for smooth vaccination by bifurcating age-group of 18-45 years in 30-45 years and 18-30 years.
