I am happy to inform that from March 16, Covid vaccination of children in the age group of 12 to 13 and 13 to 14 will start. Also, everyone aged 60+ will now be able to get precaution doses. I urge the families of children and people in the age group of 60+ that they must get the vaccine”.
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।
