NEW DELHI : The Central government is still concerned over low coverage of booster dose despite making it free for all the eligible population.

Nearly 12% coverage is being reported in the 18-59 years of age group with the target population of over 77.10 crore while 35% people above 60 years of age including healthcare & frontline workers have received the booster jabs with a target population of 16.80 crore, two senior health ministry officials said on Tuesday.

Under the nationwide covid-19 vaccination drive, the total coverage of precaution dose is around 15.66 crore with India’s cumulative COVID-19 vaccination coverage exceeding to over 212.17 crore doses.  “The coverage of booster dose is very low despite making it free for all eligible individuals under the celebration of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav at all the government vaccination centers.

People should take the benefit of it and come forward to take their precaution dose. We are running special vaccination camps at bus stations, railway stations, airport, schools/colleges, routes of religious yatars and various workplaces etc," said the first official.
