1 crore health workers to get Covid-19 vaccine first, 2 crore frontline workers to follow: Govt

India Today  

The government plans to include nearly one crore health workers in the first batch of vaccine receivers, whenever a Covid-19 vaccine is approved for use in India. Meanwhile, the Delhi government has started enrolling health workers for priority vaccination and asked all healthcare facilities to send names of their staff. Earlier in the day, chairing the all-party meeting on Covid-19, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said experts believe that the wait for a Covid-19 vaccine will not be long and it may be ready in a few weeks. PM Modi said healthcare workers involved in treating Covid-19 patients, frontline workers, who include police personnel and municipal staff, and old people suffering from serious conditions would be vaccinated on priority.
