Description

Theres a need to reassess the COVID immunization schedule in elderly and especially in those with co-morbidities owing to their weaker immune response to vaccines. Also, the immunity against vaccines wanes off earlier in contrast to younger population. This in turn leads to significant impact on the physical, mental health and quality of life of the elderly. Hence, they even after getting vaccinated, find themselves in a constant state of fear of reinfection with this deadly virus.
