V-Day for young India! Vaccination drive for 15-18 year-olds begins

As Covid-19 cases, including those of the Omicron variant, rapidly rise in India, the next leg of the nation’s vaccination drive started on Monday. Vaccination for children aged 15-18 years began across the country on Monday.

The CoWIN app had already recorded over six lakh registrations by Sunday evening. The vaccine option for this age group is the indigenously-developed Covaxin.

The Centre has advised states and UTs to provide separate vaccination centres, session sites, queues and different vaccination teams for the 15-18 year age group.
