New Delhi [India], April 8: Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Friday termed the extension of the COVID-19 vaccination drive of precaution dose to all above 18 years of age as an “extra layer of safety”.

The Centre on Friday announced that precaution doses will now be available to all ages above 18 years from April 10 at private vaccination centres.

“Adding an extra layer of safety! Precaution Dose to be available to 18+ age group from April 10, 2022, at Private Vaccination Centres. All 18+ who have completed 9 months after administration of 2nd dose, would be eligible for Precaution Dose,” Mandaviya tweeted.

This facility would be available in all private vaccination centres.
