Considering the gruesome situation due to Coronavirus in the country, the Central Government on Monday, April 19, 2021, announced that the COVID-19 vaccination drive will be open to all above the age of 18 years.
This is the third phase of the vaccination drive, and it will start on May 1, 2021.
So now, the COVID-19 vaccine will be available to each and every citizen of India above the age of 18 years, regardless of comorbidities.
This decision on a liberalized and accelerated phase three strategy of COVID-19 vaccination was taken after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with doctors.
The government announced that the vaccination drive will be held as earlier as possible. Coronavirus vaccines will be free of cost at all government-run COVID centers, while private hospitals can “transparently declare” a self-set cost for the vaccine.
