Representatives of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha will be administered Covid immunizations as India accelerates the country’s leading immunisation drive and ascends a fresh process involving all over 60 years of age and those over 45 years of age afflicted from comorbidity.

Immunisation began at the Parliament site from 10 a.m. and will continue until the Budget Session is concluded. The drive will take place every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on Saturday and Sunday.

All Members of Parliament had been briefed of the campaign and required to consult the Covid-19 Facility near the reception office of the Annex of Parliament for immunisation.

In order to ensure the health of all Members of Parliament, the Parliament has made it a priority, following other departments inside the Center, to inoculate their staff in accordance with the criteria agreed by the Government in the ongoing phase of vaccination.

President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and various Union Cabinet Ministers, including Amit Shah, Harsh Vardhan and Narendra Singh Tomar, have also received shots as the programme has indeed been launched in other parts of the country, expecting that this will help to manage the upsurge in a lot of nations.

Hundreds filed a queue at government and the private sector medical facilities from across nation as the nation further started to open its vaccination programme for health and sanitation workers, which began on January 16.

Indigenous Covaxin vaccine from Bharat Biotech and Covishield from Oxford-AstraZeneca has also been administered to people in India since the immunisation drive started here.
