The vaccination program for people above the age of 60 years and within the age bracket of 45-59 years with co-morbidities will begin from March 1 in the country. India, similar to many countries, has now changed its focus from vaccinating only healthcare and frontline workers against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) to senior citizens as they are more vulnerable to the virus.
