The Standing Technical Sub-Committee (STSC) of the NTAGI (National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation) on Thursday recommended reducing the gap between the second and precaution doses of COVID-19 vaccines from the current nine to six months, official sources said.
They said the Health Ministry will take the final call on the recommendation soon.
The government advisory panel, which met on Thursday, also reviewed the findings of a study by the Christian Medical College (CMC) in Vellore on the feasibility of allowing as precaution dose a Covid vaccine different from the one used for primary vaccination.
