Covid
Vaccine will be available to all above 18 from May 1st
The government on Monday announced that vaccination will be available to all above 18 after May 1. The decision came out after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a series of meetings over country’s response to record daily surges in Covid cases.
The government said that all adults can get Covid shots and states can buy doses directly from vaccine-makers in the “liberalised and accelerated Phase 3 strategy of COVID-19 vaccination”.
“The government has been working hard for over a year to ensure that maximum numbers of Indians are able to get the vaccine in the shortest possible of time,” said the PM.
