India is expanding its COVID-19 vaccination drive and will start vaccinating children aged 12 to 14 years from March 16. Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya gave this announcement via Twitter. Also, people aged 60 and above will now get booster shots.

Tweeting in Hindi, the Union Health Minister said, “If the children are safe then the country is safe! I am happy to inform you that the COVID-19 vaccination of children in the age group of 12 to 13 and 13 to 14 is starting from March 16. Also, everyone aged 60+ will now be able to get precaution doses.”

बच्चे सुरक्षित तो देश सुरक्षित!

मुझे बताते हुए खुशी है की 16 मार्च से 12 से 13 व 13 से 14 आयुवर्ग के बच्चों का कोविड टीकाकरण शुरू हो रहा है।

साथ ही 60+ आयु के सभी लोग अब प्रिकॉशन डोज लगवा पाएँगे।

मेरा बच्चों के परिजनों व 60+ आयुवर्ग के लोगों से आग्रह है की वैक्सीन जरूर लगवाएँ।
