The National Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (NTAGI) will soon hold a meeting to devise a roadmap for introducing Zydus Cadila's Covid vaccine in the inoculation drive and prioritising beneficiaries focusing on those aged 12-18 years with comorbidities.

NTAGI Chairman Dr. N.K. Arora said it is estimated that there are around 12 crore adolescents in the age group of 12-18 years in India and less than 1 % of them may have comorbidities.More Related News
