‘Union govt committed to…’: Mansukh Mandaviya as India begins administering precautionary dose

The central government is committed to provide ‘extra security cover’ to health care and frontline workers, said Union health minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday, as India began administering ‘precautionary dose’ of Covid-19 vaccines to health care and frontline staff, as well as citizens with comorbidities aged 60 and above.

“The plan for preventive dose management for health care and frontline personnel and citizens of 60 years and older age groups begins today. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the center is committed to giving priority to us Medical care and front-line staff provide additional security.

The drive to administer ‘precautionary’ or booster shots to the said people was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an address to the nation on December 25 last year. Speaking in an unscheduled address, PM Modi also said that the exercise will kick off on January 10.

Last week, Dr VK Paul. Niti Aayog member (health) clarified that the extra or third dose will be of the same jab with which a beneficiary was inoculated the first two times.

Providing further convenience, the Union health ministry also said that those who intend to take their precautionary dose need not register separately for it. Instead, the ministry said, people can schedule their appointments through the CoWin app and, once scheduled, can simply go to the centre and get vaccinated for a third time.

The facility to schedule appointment for boosters opened last Saturday.
