In a bid to offer stronger protection to people against the coronavirus, the Centre will on Sunday start giving the precaution dose of Covid-19 to all those aged above 18 years and have completed nine months after their second dose at private vaccination centers. The announcement was made by the Union Health Ministry on Friday.
Currently, only those above 60 years, healthcare workers, and frontline workers were eligible for the third dose. But from Sunday onwards, the booster dose will be thrown open to 18-year-olds as well subject to payment. The ministry, however, clarified that the free vaccination programs through government vaccination centers for first and second doses as well as precaution doses to healthcare workers, frontline workers, and the 60+ population would continue.
