We are facing a practical problem. Some person took 1st dose of AZ vaccine but become RT PCR positive before taking the 2nd dose. They were supposed to take 2nd dose after two months of 1st dose. But as they are RT PCR positive now can they take the 2nd dose within the time limit? Or they have to wait? What is the scientific solution?
One can take the 2nd dose of the COVID-19 vaccine 3 months after recovery from COVID-19.

Rajat Sanker Roy Biswas, here is a scenario like that of you and a possible solution.
Scenario: I received my first dose of the COVID19 Vaccine and a few days later was diagnosed with COVID19. I was treated with COVID Plasma Treatment. Should I wait to receive my second vaccine dose or do I need to restart the series?
Answer: If you have received monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma for COVID, you do not need to restart the vaccine series. Wait 90 days from the date of the infusion before receiving the second dose.
