The second phase of the Covid-19 vaccination will begin on March 1, 2021, and April 1, 2021. During the second phase, all Indian people above 60 years of age and those over 45+ years with neurologic, accounting for more than 80% Covid-19 mortality in the Indian country, were allowed to take the corona vaccine.
- The “advanced and stimulated Phase 3 strategy” of Corona vaccination becomes practical from May 1, 2021, following which India’s entire adult population, i.e., all residents above the age of 18+ years, will be allowed to take the effective corona vaccine.
- From May 1, corona vaccine producers would supply 50% of their monthly Central Drugs Laboratory released doses to the Indian government and would be free to supply the remaining 50% doses to all Indian state governments and in the private hospital and medical store according to the Health Minister statement.
- Corona Vaccine Manufacturers are required to make an advanced declaration of the vaccine price for a 50% supply that would be available to state governments and in the private market before April 30, 2021.
