The National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) has recommended that those who need to travel overseas can take the precaution dose of Covid vaccine as required by the country they are travelling to, before the stipulated nine-month waiting period, sources told PTI.
However, no recommendation as of now has been made by the NTAGI over reducing the gap between the second dose and the precaution jab from the current nine months to six for everybody.
The issue is likely to be discussed in subsequent meetings, sources said. As of now, all those above 18 years who have completed nine months after the second dose are eligible for the precaution jab.
