Question 1. Suppose a senior-citizen year old takes Covishield (AstraZ) 1st dose on 10-March. According to India, max gap for 2nd dose can be 8 weeks (5-May). But according to International studies, gap should be 12 weeks or more. So between the 2 choices below which should be preferred:

  1. Get the 2nd dose on 7th week (29-Apr) in hospital
  2. Wait & Get the 2nd dose on 14th week (End May) in hospital

Option 1 may have less crowd in hospital (but efficacy will be 75%) and option 2 may have more crowd because after 1-May, vaccine will be open for all (but efficacy will be 60%). I wanted to prefer vaccine in a society camp but our society is not organizing a vaccine camp.

Question 2. Will Vaccination be available at home after 1-May?

Question 3. If I sit in balcony of 1st floor and people are roaming without mask on ground floor, can their exhaled virus travel to 1st floor to my balcony and infect me?

Question 4. I wanted a vaccination from Camp (open area) but my society is not organizing. Can I somehow Search and attend another society’s vaccination CAMP?

.
Question 5. Any study which shows that double/triple mutation viruses are not protected by Covishield?

Q1 – Reason for “no longer than 8-week” please? Because 12-weeks or more have much greater efficacy for AstraZ.

Q4 – I was thinking that a society only allows their own residents to get vaccinated in their camp. Any way to search nearby camps?

Is it better to go to bigger hospitals for Covishield vaccination (2nd dose)? As smaller / local nursing homes which have power cuts, etc may not keep vaccines stored properly?
