The third phase of the Covid-19 vaccination begins today

The third phase of the Covid-19 vaccination campaign in India begins on April 1. The vaccination campaign in India began in January as health care workers and forensic workers were vaccinated. A second phase was followed where adults (over 60 years of age) and people aged 45 or over with comorbidities were eligible. Now, in the third stage, people 45 years of age or older without comorbidities are eligible for the vaccine.
