Covid vaccination in recovery period
After how many days I should take my first dose of covid vaccination (covishield or covaxine) after getting negative RT-PCR report? I got covid positive on April 16 and it took me around 15 days when symptomps are gone. It's almost 25 days now and I still feel headache, body pain, joint pain. Temperature is normal now and I got back my sense of smell and taste.
I came to know after covid when you recover there will be enough antibodies generated for 1-2 months. So should I go for vaccination after 2 months? Please suggest.
