Single dose of COVID-19 vaccine are enough for recovered patients: Banaras Hindu University(BHU) investigators

New Delhi: Researchers at Banaras Hindu University(BHU) have made a startling claim that those people who have recovered from coronavirus may only require a single dose of the vaccine.

The Banaras Hindu University(BHU) researchers conducted a study on people who have recovered from the covid-19 and those who had not contracted the disease. It has been shown that patients diagnosed with COVID build up the immune system faster.

“We studied the effect of vaccines on COVID recovered and non-infected people. Antibodies in recovered people developed in the first week,” Prof. Gyaneshwer Chaubey, Zoology Department, BHU, was quoted as saying by ANI.

“While only 90% of non-infected people developed antibodies after 3-4 weeks, recovered people developed antibodies after the first dose,” Chaubey added.

The professor said the findings would help solve the problem of vaccine shortages and that they would write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the matter.

“By giving single-dose to recovered people we can overcome vaccine shortage. We’ve also written a letter to PM in this regard,” Chaubey said.
