I need to travel abroad. When should I get vaccinated with Abhay M Injection?
If you are travelling abroad, you must get vaccinated at least 2 weeks before your actual travel dates. This is because the antibodies ensure complete protection only after 2 or 3 weeks of getting vaccinated. So, make sure you plan on getting Abhay M Injection accordingly.

Also, if you have received both the doses of Abhay M Injection, there are very less chances of you infecting other people, including those who are not vaccinated due to low immunity or age factor.
