Current Govt. Guidelines on Covid Administration
-
The two-shot vaccine should be given either two, three, or four weeks apart, and it needs to be injected into the muscle.
In India, a group called NEGVAC will be in charge of giving out the vaccine and will share all the rules and advice.
The COVID-19 vaccine will first be given to healthcare workers, frontline workers, and people over 50 years old. After that, it will go to younger people under 50 who have health problems that make them more likely to get sick from COVID-19. Finally, everyone else will get the vaccine based on how many cases there are and how much vaccine is available.
The priority group of above 50 years may be further subdivided into those above 60 years of age and those between 50 to 60 years of age for purposes of phasing of roll out based on pandemic situation and vaccine availability.
- The Covid vaccine system is like a digital tool to keep track of who’s getting vaccinated for COVID-19 in real-time.
When people go to get vaccinated, there will be a team of five members.
- The main person giving the vaccine could be a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or someone else authorized to give shots.
- Another person will check if you’re registered, and two more will help manage the crowd and support the person giving the vaccine.
- During the vaccination, they’ll make sure everything is safe and clean.
- Since many people will get vaccinated quickly, it’s important to watch out for any side effects. If there are any problems after getting vaccinated, they’ll report it and make sure you get the right help.
