Dr Prakash Doraiswamy of Aster hospital is among those who recovered from Covid and who took the vaccine
BENGALURU: Many healthcare professionals including doctors, who recovered from Covid-19, were among those who have taken the vaccine.
Since they continue to work with Covid patients, protection against the disease through immunisation is necessary, doctors said. Some of them were asymptomatic when they tested positive for the virus, but all are wary of reinfection since there has been multiple such cases among colleagues.
“There is no clarity on how long antibody protection lasts for those exposed to the virus,” said a doctor from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, who took the jab. The doctor said he suffered the infection eight months ago and there is no evidence yet on whether antibodies produced then would help now or in the future. “Though we have recovered, we are as vulnerable as those who have never been infected,” he said.

A considerable period of his political career, over a decade, was spent in jail which he blamed on New Delhi for misunderstanding him. Architect of

The private hospitals had closed the OPDs in response to a national protest called by the Indian Medical Association against the Centre’s decision to allow Ayurvedic practitioners to perform surgeries.
