I've got a bit of a concern about my period and Plan B. I had my period mid-July, from the 14th to the 18th, and then I had unprotected sex on the 19th. I took the emergency contraception pill on the 22nd. But then, oddly, I got my period again on the 28th, and it only lasted about 4 days. Is this normal? Could this be a side effect of taking Plan B?

-Yes, the bleeding you experienced on July 28 could be a side effect of the Plan B pill. Its common for emergency contraception to cause irregular bleeding or spotting, even if your period comes around the usual time.

It's safe to take the second dose of Covaxin during your period, as there are no contraindications. You can go ahead with the vaccination without delay. However, if you're feeling unwell or have heavy symptoms, it's okay to wait a few days and take it when you're more comfortable.
