In a significant development in the ongoing nationwide vaccination drive against the Covid-19, the Union Government announced that people who are 45 and above can also get the vaccine doses.
Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said that the Union Cabinet has decided to expand the ongoing vaccination drive and as part of this every citizen who is 45 and above can get the doses.
Rubbishing the reports of the shortage of vaccines, the Union Minister said there is no shortage of vaccines and urge every citizen who is 45 or above to register themselves as the beneficiaries of the vaccine.
The doctors will prescribe the best period to get the second shot of the Coronavirus vaccine. The second shot of the Coronavirus vaccine should be taken between four to eight weeks, the Union Minister said.
