No Fundamental Rights Of Petitioner Infringed: Govt Responds To Plea Challenging 84 Days Dose Interval For Covishield Vaccines

Live Law  

The Secretary to the Government submitted its counter-affidavit before the Kerala High Court on Thursday responding to the petition that challenged the prescribed 84 days gap between administering two doses of the Covishield vaccine. Accordingly, it was argued that the dose interval between the two doses of the Covishield vaccine under the COVID-19 vaccination drive had undergone a series of revisions based on the available and emerging scientific evidence mentioned above with the overall guidance of the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19. Therefore, based on the recommendations by NEGVAC, the schedule of the Covishield vaccine under the National Covid-19 Vaccination Programme is to administer the second dose at 12-16 weeks interval, after administration of the first dose. The Union Ministry of Health & Family Welfare received several representations for allowing early administration of the second dose of Covishield for people planning to undertake international travel for educational purposes, employment opportunities or for part of India's contingent for the Tokyo Olympic Games, but whose planned travel dates fall prior to completion of the mandated minimum interval of 84 days from the date of the first dose.
