Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched, India’s Covid-19 vaccination drive, the world’s largest inoculation exercise against the novel coronavirus. In a virtual address, Modi hailed scientists and healthcare workers, who have been on the frontlines of the pandemic. Reacting to the largest vaccination drive commencement, Kangana Ranaut took to Twitter and expressed her willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccination. Taking to her Twitter account, Kangana shared a video of AIIMS Director Dr Randeep Guleria getting vaccinated in New Delhi. She wrote, "Wonderful!! Can’t wait."
India will administer shots to three crore frontline workers in phase one. There are 3,006 session sites across the country, where 100 beneficiaries each will be given either of India’s two indigenous vaccines, Covaxin or Covishield. Every beneficiary will need to receive two doses of the same vaccine, 28 days apart. Since the pandemic hit India in early 2020, over one crore and 5.27 lakh people have been infected with the disease, while close to 1.52 lakh have died. At present, Kerala and Maharashtra are reporting the highest number of daily cases. The government has created a dedicated 24X7 helpline number '1075' to address queries related to the vaccine rollout and the Co-WIN software. On the work front, Kangana has films like Dhaakad, Tejas and Thalaivi in her kitty.
