COVID-19 vaccine: COVID-19 cases have been rising rapidly in India. The situation has come to a point where we are facing difficulties in getting hospital beds and even oxygen cylinders. With such a situation in place, the government of India is working hard to bring the COVID-19 vaccine to as many people as possible. The vaccine was rolled out in phases starting with health workers and the elderly people. Now, the vaccine will be available for everyone above the age of 18 years.
Up until now, vaccine registration was open only for people aged above 45 years. Starting 4 PM, April 28, the vaccine registration portal will open for the 18 to 44 years age group. Once the portal is open, you can register for the vaccine and get vaccinated in the coming days.
