Thiruvananthapuram, May 1 (UNI) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Saturday reiterated that those waiting for the second dose of the vaccine will be given priority over those who have registered for the first dose.
Addressing a press conference here this evening, the CM said "However, the vaccination for those over 18 years of age may be delayed by a few days. The process of purchasing the vaccine from the vaccine manufacturers is in progress."
"We had decided to vaccinate all the people above 45 years of age by May 30 but it will not be possible as we have not yet received the required vaccine stock."
"Therefore, immediate steps need to be taken by the Central Government to make more vaccines available," he added.
