The government has made a big announcement on vaccination amid growing Corona cases. Now from May 1, everyone above 18 years of age will be able to get the vaccine. The government has also decided that the companies making the vaccine will go to their 50% supply center. They can supply the remaining 50 percent to state governments or sell it in the open market.
All adults can get Covid shots and states can buy doses directly from vaccine-makers in the "liberalized and accelerated Phase 3 strategy of COVID-19 vaccination", the government said, on a day the country reported 2.73 lakh new daily cases in the highest spike since the pandemic broke out a year ago.
