COVID-19 vaccine for 18+: How to register via Aarogya Setu, Co-WIN app
With the rise in coronavirus cases, the Indian government is trying to bring the vaccine to everyone at the earliest. The Central government on Monday announced that the COVID-19 vaccine will be available for all the people above 18 years of age starting May 1. The decision was taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with leading doctors from across the country and with top pharma companies on the prevailing COVID-19 situation.
PM Modi claims that the government has been working hard from over a year to ensure that maximum numbers of Indians are able to get vaccinated in the shortest possible of time. "India is vaccinating people at world record pace and we will continue this with even greater momentum," he added.
