      Amid concerns over a possible Covid wave in India, the country's expert panel on immunisation is discussing the possibility of allowing a second booster dose to people, according to a Hindustan Times report.

      A member of the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) said that a section supports a second booster dose, but all scientific data will be minutely studied before any recommendation to the government.

      Around 28% of the eligible population has taken the first booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine so far.

      The Narendra Modi government recently approved the country's first intranasal vaccine as a booster. Bharat Biotech's iNCOVACC's approval for emergency use among adults who have received two doses of Covishield or Covaxin vaccine coincided with the surge of cases in neighbouring China.
