Weight loss of five percent of body weight over a period of 6 - 12 months in the absence of trying to loose weight is considered an unexplained weight loss which is not good and needs a doctor's evaluation.

Question

I'm wondering, after how many days of having a common cold can my mom safely get her second dose of Covishield? It's already time for her to get it, but she recently had a cold that's mostly under control now, though she's still got a bit of a cough. Is it okay for her to take the vaccine now, or would it be a problem if she delays the second dose because the vaccine isn't available?
