Full vaccination targeted by Jan.: Minister
The State is carrying on with COVID-19 vaccination at a good pace and expects to complete the coverage of all persons above 18 years with the first dose by October end.
By January next year, the entire population above 18 years should be fully vaccinated, it is hoped, Health Minister Veena George said in the Assembly on Tuesday. She was replying to a calling attention motion on COVID vaccination, raised by A.N. Shamseer.
Ms. George said the COVID vaccination rate in the State was much above the national average and this had been achieved through campaigns addressing priority populations as well as through systematic vaccination camps across districts.
