Top News Headlines: Kerala HC's announcement on Covishield vaccine

In a crucial intervention, the Kerala High Court on Monday ruled that the second dose of Covishield can be taken 28 days of taking the first dose in the private sector, but this time frame will not be applicable to the free supply of vaccines.

The court noted that there have been exemptions given to the current 84 day period between the two doses to those officials who go for meetings and to students who are studying abroad, and thus, it is not fair to delay it as the vaccines have been already purchased by companies.
