The booster dose of corona vaccination has been started from January 10. This booster dose is being given only to those who are 60 years of age and 9 months after taking the second dose. 

Against that background, senior citizens are being deceived. Therefore, senior citizens should be careful. The caller is communicating with citizens, citing as a government officer. The fraudster asks if you have taken two doses of the vaccine. After that, you are being registered for the third booster dose. For this, your Aadhaar number, name, address and mobile number are asked. This question is asked to convince the person concerned. After that, you are sent an OTP on your mobile.
