Amidst a growing surge in Covid-19 cases across the country, the government will roll out the third phase of its vaccination drive from April 1.
The Centre has warned that the situation is going from “bad to worse” and urged states to achieve 100 per cent vaccination coverage of those above the age of 45 years in surge districts within the next two weeks.
All above the age of 45 years will be eligible for a vaccine shot from April 1.
The vaccination drive was kicked off in January with healthcare workers and frontline workers getting inoculated first.
It was followed by the second phase in which senior citizens (above 60 years of age) and people aged 45 or older with comorbidities were eligible.
One can register self for Covid-19 vaccination through the government’s Co-Win portal using the link–http://www.cowin.gov.in. One can also register for vaccination through the AarogyaSetu App.
