Covishield vaccine info

2021-05-02 06:59:24
Hello Doctor, My father has taken his first dose of Covishield on April 5th. Now a days we are hearing different statements on the duration to have between 1st and 2nd dose. I would like to check if he can go for the 2nd dose of vaccine after 4weeks or 6weeks from the day he took the 1st dose. Please suggest. Thanks.
