Been a bit anxious about my vaccination schedule. I had a COVID infection around two months ago and just took my first Covishield shot. I'm worried because its been 68 weeks since my initial dose. Is it okay to have such a long gap between the two doses? Would love some advice on this.

Long Gap Between Doses:
- The recommended interval for Covishield is 4 to 12 weeks. A gap of 68 weeks is longer but generally safe. Completing the vaccination is important for effective immunity.
-
Post-COVID Infection:
- Your recent COVID-19 infection, combined with the first vaccine dose, provides good protection.
-
Next Steps:
- Complete your vaccination schedule as advised by your healthcare provider. Consult your doctor if you have concerns or experience unusual symptoms.
Vaccination is crucial for protection. For personalized advice, contact your healthcare provider.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and has been dealing with this cold and fever for a while now. Her body temperature is pretty high, and she's feeling very weak, which is so unlike her since she used to be really active. There's no coughing involved, but I'm not sure which medicine would be best for her in this situation. Any advice?
Fever in a diabetic will subside only if blood sugar is under control. Paracetamol and cetrizine for fever and a course of antibiotic since we cant take a risk in a diabetic elderly.. will worsen quickly.. better consult and start treatment.
