Covid-19 Vaccine
Judges, teachers, lawyers, journalists in Ludhiana cleared for Covid vaccine shots
Chandigarh/IBNS: Judges, teachers, lawyers and journalists are now eligible to get coronavirus vaccines in Punjab's Ludhiana, the district administration said on Monday.
The decision also covers those working in banks, NGOs, cooperative societies and food grain societies.
The move comes two weeks after the centre allowed vaccination for all above 60 and those above 45 with illnesses.
India began its coronavirus vaccination programme on Jan 16, with an aim to inoculate 3 crore frontline workers.
So far, 3.17 crore people have received the jabs across the country.
With a renewed surge in some states including Punjab, India recorded over 26,000 fresh COVID-19 cases on Monday, its highest single-day spike in nearly three months.
The country's infection tally stood at 1.13 crore, the Union Health Ministry data stated.
