The Bombay High Court on Monday asked the Maharashtra government if citizens, who had received both doses of Covid-19 vaccine, will need a third dose or a booster shot of the vaccine anytime in future.

A bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice GS Kulkarni said that at a recent meeting with the state government, the Maharashtra Covid-19 task force had mentioned that despite having taken both doses of Covishield or Covaxin, citizens might need a third or a booster shot of vaccine to protect themselves from several variants of the coronavirus.
