All adults will be able to get free booster doses of the coronavirus vaccine at government centres under a special drive over the next 75 days from today, officials said on Wednesday.
Aimed at improving the third-dose coverage, the drive will be held as part of the government’s ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence.
So far, less than 1 per cent of the target population of 77 crore in the 18-59 age group have been administered the precaution dose.
