When should I take second dose?
COVISHIELD- between 4-8 weeks after first dose
COVAXIN- between 4-6 weeks after first dose
Now Co-WIN does not automatically schedule your second dose, you need to manually schedule as per your convenience.

I am not yet eligible for COVID-19 vaccine, what should I do?
Wait for your turn and till then help people around you to get vaccinated. Having more vaccinated people around you creates a bubble and helps to reduce risk of you getting infected.
