Soumya explained, after recovering from Covid-19, the Covid-19 survivor need to wait a few weeks before committing Covid-19 vaccination. This is like the WHO standard, which is to wait a few weeks after recovering.
“This is because you have antibody nature that will keep you protected for at least that (period),” said Soumya, in an interview, as published on the WHO’s official YouTube account, Friday (20/8/2021).
However, he continued, there are differences in rules between countries.
