A medical worker inoculates young people with dose of the corona vaccine at a vaccination centre during the first day of India's vaccination drive to all adults amid coronavirus second wave pandemic in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, May 1, 2021.
The vaccination drive for those 18 years and above began on a dull note in India on Saturday amid a shortage of vaccines in the country. This comes after the Centre on April 19 had announced a 'liberalised' policy in order to ramp up the coronavirus vaccination drive in the country and made all above 18 years of age eligible to get vaccinated from May 1. However, some states have flagged the shortage of vaccines and expressed their inability to start vaccination of people above 18 years from today.
