The recommendation of an expert panel on Covid to increase the gap between Covishield doses was made based on scientific evidence in a transparent manner, the government informed Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. No dissent was raised by any member in the meeting of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) regarding the recommendation, Minister of State for Health Bharati Pravin Pawar said in a written reply.

Responding to a question, Pawar said the COVID Working Group of NTAGI recommended extension of the gap between the first and second doses of Covishield vaccine to 12-16 weeks based on available scientific evidence particularly from the UK as well as WHO global guidance.

This recommendation has been considered and also recommended by the National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 (NEGVAC).
