Muktsar, June 25

More than 4,000 people in Muktsar district have failed to get the second Covaxin shot on time due to confusion over the gap between the two doses of the vaccine.

The recommended gap between the two Covaxin doses is 28 days. In case of Covishield, it is 84 days.

Dr Ranju Singla, Chief Medical Officer, Muktsar, said, “People are confused over the gap between two doses of Covishield and Covaxin. We are appealing to the public to get the second dose of Covaxin after 28 days. There is no shortage of vaccine in the district now and people should come forward and get jabbed,” she said.

Cautioning against any rumours, she said 1.35 lakh people were vaccinated in the district and no adverse effect had been reported so far.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
