Jagan to make a suggestion to the Centre in this regard
Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy said he would suggest to the Central government to look into the possibility of reducing the gap for the precaution dose of the coronavirus vaccine from nine to six months and to three months eventually so that it would benefit frontline workers and those providing emergency services and help in bringing down hospitalisations.
In a review meeting on COVID-19 on Monday, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy directed the officials to focus on scaling up vaccination in five districts (East Godavari, Guntur, Kadapa, Vizianagaram and Srikakulam) which lagged behind the others in this regard. He expressed satisfaction that the vaccination for those in 15-18 age group had been completed (100%) in Nellore and West Godavari, and reached 90% in five districts and 80% in four districts.
