The government has made a big announcement on vaccination amid growing Corona cases. From May 1, everyone over the age of 18 will be able to get the vaccine. The government has also decided that the companies making the vaccine will supply 50% of their supplies to the center.
They can supply the remaining 50% to state governments or sell it in the open market. Registration through COVIN will be required for vaccination as before. In order to ensure that there is no shortage of vaccines, the State Governments have been given powers to purchase vaccines directly from companies.
Till now people above the age of 45 years were being given the Corona vaccine across the country. 12.38 crore people have taken the first or second dose of vaccine across the country. According to the order issued by the government on Monday evening, the new policy will be implemented from May 1, 2021 and it will also be reviewed as per the requirement.
