In his address to the nation on the occasion of Christmas, PM Narendra Modi announced that from January 3, vaccination will start in the country for children between the age group of 15 to 18 years. In his address, the PM also announced the introduction of booster dose. He said that in view of the increasing case of Omicron in the country, booster dose will be started from January 10, in which people above 60 years and health workers will be given a booster dose.
At the same time, the expert has described that decision of PM as a good step. In fact, Dr. Dhiren Gupta, a pediatric pulmonologist at Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, said, “This is a very good step. It has been 1 year since the frontline workers got the vaccine. So now people need a booster dose.” He said that the Center should start ‘Precaution Dose’ as soon as possible. Dr Dhiren said that the next plan should be to vaccinate children above 5 years. Pediatricians should be allowed to vaccinate these children in their clinics.
PM Modi also said that soon the introduction of nasal vaccine and the world’s first DNA vaccine will also be started in the country. However, PM Modi once again appealed to the countrymen to follow all measures to prevent the corona Pandemic. He said that it is necessary to adopt measures like wearing masks to defeat the Pandemic.
