NAGPUR: Many benefits are fully vaccinated, especially health care workers and front-line employees, take a third dose of vaccine Covid in some private vaccination centers, although the government has not approved the booster dose.
They took a third dose to rely on the fact that the booster shot has been approved in the UK and the US, while it is still under study in India.
Some doctors assert their demand for a booster dose to make valid and the third dose also prevents wastage of vaccines.
Local immunization officials confirmed to TOI that many take a third stab using the remaining doses at private centers.
They say a picture is officially recorded as waste.
In recent days, the number of doses showed their waste being used for the third dose.
In some centers, it was repeatedly shown that 20 to 30 over the bottle is opened from the actual needs, they said.
In some places, only one person was vaccinated while nine doses displayed as waste.
A professor of community medicine from a medical college said that the study results are still awaited Covaxin booster dose.
“There are two schools of thought.
One feels a booster dose is needed after six months.
Another said Covid vaccine provides immunity for a longer duration.
Therefore, the government has not formulated any policy on booster dose.
The focus is still finishing the first and second dose, “he said.
The professor said that personally he does not see the danger of a booster dose.
“This will only increase the level of immunity,” he said.
Infectious disease specialist Dr.
Nitin Shinde wondered why the government is delaying approval for booster doses.
“Recently, they tested positive in Kerala all vaccinated more than six months ago.
Even if they do not get treated in hospitals, long Covid and transmission risk is always there.
booster dose protects against infection and injury transmission of the virus, “he said.
Dr.
Shinde is of the view that all people are fully vaccinated among health workers, front-line workers or senior citizens who have completed six months should get a booster dose.
He also showed that the efficacy of the vaccine against the delta has been reduced by about 20%.
Hospital Vidarbha convener Dr Anup Marar said that many developed countries have started approving three doses for high-risk individuals.
“Scientifically, many of which spread booster dose.
In India, the government can hold as equal to the inequities between the dose and the delayed availability of unvaccinated residents, “he said.
Dr Marar was vaccinated and aware citizens will certainly want to get a booster dose.
“Seeing the end of the close of the stock of vaccines to the centers of private, government must contemplate approving a third dose take advantage of these shares on the basis of payment so that the dose cheating booster, if any, avoidable and those who get stuck was officially added to the vaccination data,” he said.
