Vaccine related query

2021-05-10 14:18:14
Is it necessary to take the second shot of the same vaccine which was administered the first time? Or can you take whichever is available the second time? My parents took Covishield 1st shot but now it is unavailable whereas Covaxin is available, so can you take that?
