“Another Day, Another Milestone Over 50 lakh healthcare & frontline workers and citizens aged 60 years or above have received precaution Dose, since 10th January. I request all those who are eligible to get their precaution dose at the earliest,” Mandaviya tweeted.

From January 10, India began administering a preventive dosage of COVID-19 vaccine to healthcare staff, frontline workers, including election personnel, and people aged 60 and over with comorbidities, amid an increase in coronavirus infections caused by the Omicron strain of the virus.

However, the countrywide vaccination drive was rolled out on January 16, 2021, with healthcare workers (HCWs) getting inoculated in the first phase. The vaccination of frontline workers (FLWs) started on February 2.

The next phase of COVID-19 vaccination has commenced from January 3 this year for adolescents in the age group of 15-18 years.

Meanwhile, The Union Health Ministry has not yet taken any decision on COVID-19 vaccination for children in the age bracket of 12-14 years, official sources told ANI.
