Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Saturday and announced “precaution doses” for people aged over 60 years on the recommendations of a doctor.
During the pandemic, it was said that old age people need to stay alert and careful because their weak immune system can lead to the spread of infection and critical circumstances.
Then for the protection of people came vaccines but they were only for the people in the age group 18-60 years. The people more prone to covid were still in danger. A large number of deaths due to covid was reported in older people.
But now the government has finally brought the precaution doses for those with comorbidities and above 60 years of age on the recommendation of their doctors. The inoculation of the precaution doses will begin from January 10, 2022.
PM Modi talks about the hard work and incredible efforts of the scientific community for the vaccines and the nation said, “Our scientific community carefully decided every detail of the vaccine when to take which doses etc. Now the scientific community has arrived at some crucial decisions which I would like to share with you on the auspicious occasion of Christmas and also the birth anniversary of Atal Bihari Vajpayee.”
Even after the vaccinations, the people are asked to stay careful and use masks to protect themselves from the new variant of coronavirus Omicron.
