Allow Covishield second dose four weeks after first, says Kerala HC

The Hindu  

The Kerala High Court on Monday directed the Central government to make necessary provisions forthwith in the CoWIN portal to enable those who want to take the second dose of Covishield vaccine after four weeks in terms of the initial protocol, to schedule the second dose of Covishield in the portal. Suresh Kumar issued the directive while allowing a writ petition filed by Kitex Garments Limited and Kitex Childrenswear Limited of Kochi seeking a directive to the Centre to allow its workers to receive a second dose of the vaccine without completing the stipulated 84-day gap between the two doses. The court pointed out that the Centre had relaxed the time interval between the two doses of Covishield vaccine initially, for students who want to undertake foreign travel for the purpose of education, for those who have to take up jobs in foreign countries and for athletes, sportspersons and accompanying staff of Indian contingent attending the Olympic Games at Tokyo. “In other words, when people have even the right to refuse to accept vaccine, there is absolutely no reason why the State should take a stand that they shall not be permitted to accept the second dose, if they choose to do so after four weeks in terms of the original protocol of the vaccine for their early protection, especially when they themselves are procuring the vaccine by spending money from their pockets.” The court pointed out the State government on its own, without the concurrence of the Centre, had relaxed the time interval between the two doses of Covishield vaccine for those who intend to go abroad for employment.
