Nationwide special booster vaccination drive for eligible people, (18-59) years old age group, begins on the 15th of July, Friday.

To mark the 75th Independence Day, the Union Government recently announced to conduct a remarkable 75 days vaccination drive, organising free booster doses for eligible people, across India.

Under the special vaccination drive, people between the age group of 18 years old to 59 years old, would get a free booster vaccine dose against the Wuhan virus, also known as the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19.)

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Central Government decided to launch the drive, aimed at improving the third dose coverage against the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19.)  Notably, to date, only 1% of the target population, 77 crores (18-59 age group) have been administered the precaution dose.

In addition, the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) approved the reduction in the duration gap between two vaccine doses and a booster dose.  Previously the duration gap was 9 months, which now has been reduced to 6 months.

Meanwhile, the special drive which started on the 15th of July, Friday would continue till September 2022.

All the eligible people could reach out to their nearest government run vaccination centre to get free booster dose, aimed to increase the rate of booster-vaccinated people.
