India to start vaccinating teens, provide booster shots for health workers

India will begin vaccinating teenagers from the ages of 15 to 18 from Jan 3 and also administer booster Covid-19 vaccine doses for healthcare workers a week later, as Omicron-fuelled Covid-19 cases spike, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.

Citizens who are older than 60 years and suffer from co-morbidities can also get booster shots of Covid-19 vaccines in January, Modi said in a televised national address on Sunday (Dec 26).

"India needs to be vigilant about the spread of the coronavirus," Modi said, adding that people should not pay attention to rumors nor panic about rising infection numbers.
