The target groups are high-risk citizens — those aged 60 years and above, and others in the 45-59 years age group having co-morbidities.
Till Wednesday, the vaccines for the two categories were administered at a few government hospitals and private hospitals. One can register online or by walking into a vaccination centre to get inoculated.
