How And Who Can be Vaccinate?
All those 60 years old and above and those between 45 to 60 years who have some illness are eligible to have this coronavirus vaccine program. Those interested in having the vaccine can book themselves for COVID – 19 vaccination by registering themselves on www.cowin.gov.in.
You can do it on the Aarogya Setu app. In some places, you can register yourself for the vaccine by walk-in vaccination places too. India has launched its Covid vaccine on January 16, but the actual vaccine about reaching almost three crore workers is going on a slow ride.
Still, India was just able to give out 1.43 crore shots only so far. If all things go well and organized, it can fulfill the government’s plan to vaccinate 30 crore people by August 2021. From March 1, the slots to book themselves are opened from 9 am till 3 pm, where according to the availability, the appointments can be booked by those in need any time before 3 pm.
