New Delhi [India], May 26 (ANI): Fortis Escorts Heart Institute in Delhi is to administer dose of COVID-19 drug cocktail with fast-acting antibodies - Casirivimab and Imdevimab - from tomorrow.
As Mumbai is on alert with Cyclone Tauktae predicted to cause very heavy rains, the civic authorities have suspended the vaccination programme for Monday, and the special drive would be now held from Tuesday to Thursday.
“In view of the warning of high intensity cyclone issued by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the vaccination programme scheduled for Monday stands cancelled. The revised schedule will be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,” municipal commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal said.
He also said that as the central government has advised a gap of 12 to 18 weeks between two doses of Covishield, no one except healthcare workers and frontline workers will be eligible for second dose of Covishield as vaccination for the other categories commenced only on March 1.
