Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief ministers are set to get vaccinated against Covid-19 in the second round, sources said. The PM said in the CMs’ meet that the turn of other politicians, who are above 50, will come in next phase.
After healthcare and frontline workers such as police, armed forces and municipal workers, the third category to be vaccinated is likely to be people over the age of 50, followed by those who are below 50 but suffer from co-morbidities.
A tentative prioritisation for vaccination was discussed at the meeting held between PM Modi and the state chief ministers on November 24 and has been communicated to state governments, said people familiar with the development, Economic Times reported.
