India had earlier in January approved two vaccines — Oxford’s Covishield manufactured by SII and Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin — for restricted emergency use. The country launched its COVID-19 vaccination drive from 16 January in what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called the world’s largest inoculation programme with priority to be given to nearly three crore healthcare and frontline workers.

According to the COVID-19 Vaccine Operational Guidelines, the shots will be offered first to an estimated one crore healthcare workers, and around two crore frontline workers, and then to persons above 50 years of age, followed by persons younger than 50 years of age with associated comorbidities based on evolving pandemic situation.
