According to a report by Reuters, three members of the advisory body told the agency that the Indian government doubled the gap between the two doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine without the agreement of the scientific group that it said recommended the increase. The decision to change the gap from 6-8 weeks to 12-16 weeks on May 13 was announced by the health ministry, at a time when the country was suffering through a massive wave of infections and supplies of the shot were falling short of demand. In this episode of the Editorial our Managing Editor Mr Sujit Nair shares his take on the matter.
