AstraZeneca Chief Investigator Backs India's 12-16 Week Gap Between Covishield Jabs -Karan Thapar

-TheWire.in

Professor Andrew Pollard tells Karan Thapar why India's 12-16 week Covishield gap makes sense, but refutes claim a single dose AstraZeneca vaccine is likely soon.

The Chief Investigator of AstraZeneca and the Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group has, in this interview, addressed the present controvery over how long the gap between two doses of Covishield should be, clearly endorsing the Centre’s present policy of a 12-16 week gap.

Professor Sir Andrew Pollard has said a vaccination policy that aims to vaccinate the largest number of people in the quickest possible time with at least one dose makes sense in the present circumstances in India.

The professor also said that a simple and straightforward comparison between the vaccination policy in Britain and India does not make sense because of the different circumstances in the two countries.
