Govt panel recommends vaccination for Covid patients after 6 months of recovery

New Delhi/IBNS: People infected with Covid-19 should go for vaccination six months after recovery, according to the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) that held a meeting recently, said media reports.

Further, those who have been tested positive after the first dose of the vaccine should wait for four to eight week before the second dose of the vaccine, the panel recommended.

COVID-19 patients who received monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma should wait for three months from the day they are out of the hospital for the vaccine shots.

People who have been hospitalised for other illnesses should also wait for four to eight weeks before the jab.

The National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 (NEGVAC) will take the final call on these recommendations.

The panel has rejected the proposal to regularly test all vaccine recipients with rapid antigen testing before vaccination.
