Watch | Take Second Covishield Jab After 28 Days, it s Safe, Practical, Simple; Don t Delay: Dr Shahid Jameel Anyone considering extending the gap beyond 28 days for the Covishield vaccine should only do so after taking an antibody test to see whether they still have high levels of antibodies. In a 22-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Professor Shahid Jameel, who won the coveted Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science in 2000, said that anyone considering extending the gap beyond 28 days for the Covishield vaccine should only do so after taking an antibody test to see whether they still have high levels of antibodies. He said the antibody test should show antibody levels of, at least, around 70-100 international units to justify extending the gap. However, he added, the extension should only be a further 14 days i.e. from 28 to 42 days.
