VACCINATION AT WORKPLACES FROM 11 APRIL FOR THOSE WHO ARE 45 YEARS

The government on Wednesday said that it will allow—from 11 April—Covid-19 vaccination at workplaces (public and private offices) to ramp up the fight against the pandemic in the country. The offices that have more than 100 beneficiaries are allowed get vaccines at their workplaces.

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare decided on Wednesday to increase the accessibility to the vaccines amid surge of Covid-19 infection. The programme will be launched on 11 April, and states and UTs have been asked to make adequate preparations.

According to a letter from the Union Health Secretary, “With support of the state governments and UT’s administration the efforts have been to consistently make the vaccination drive more pragmatic and also more acceptable and purposeful to the beneficiaries.”
