India Covid vaccine: Modi takes jab, gives drive a big boost
New Delhi - People above 60, and those who are 45 or more and suffering from certain medical conditions, are now eligible for the vaccinations.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was inoculated with the first dose of a home-grown coronavirus vaccine on Monday, kicking off an expansion of the country’s immunisation campaign as infections rise in some big states.
People above 60, and those who are 45 or more and suffering from certain medical conditions, are now eligible for the vaccinations. But some inoculation centres reported issues with the government’s Co-Win portal used to coordinate the drive, which could slow its progress.
India, which has reported the highest number of Covid-19 cases after the United States, has so far vaccinated 14 million health and frontline workers since starting its immunisation programme in mid-January.
“I appeal to all those who are eligible to take the vaccine,” 70-year-old Modi said on Twitter, posting a picture of him getting the shot at a government hospital in New Delhi. “Together, let us make India Covid-19 free!”
