New Delhi/IBNS: Children aged 15 to 18 can register themselves to get jabbed with anti-COVID-19 vaccine from Saturday.

Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya tweeted in the morning, "On the occasion of the New Year, registration is being started on COWIN portal for immunization of children  in the age group of 15 to 18 years from today. I request the family members to register the eligible children for vaccination."

The teens belonging to the age bracket can book their slots on CoWIN website using their school ID cards.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Dec 25 announced the teens (aged 15-18) will be eligible to get jabbed from Jan 3, 2022.

Children in India can get jabbed with either of the two available anti-COVID-19 vaccines, Bharat Biotech's Covaxin or Zydus Cadila's ZyCoV-D.
