The covid vaccine is all set to vaccinate everyone against the deadly virus that emerged last year. Finally, after almost a year, India was able to make the vaccination for Covid-19 and now it is all set to give the vaccine shots to the citizens of the country. After giving the shot to health and frontline workers, the second phase of coronavirus vaccination started on Monday. People over the age of 60 and those over 45 with co-morbidities will be vaccinated against the deadly pathogen that has claimed the lives of over 1.56 lakh people in the country during this period.

For this second phase, the senior citizens and those above 45 years of age with co-morbidities will be vaccinated against this deadly pathogen through a registration process.

The registration can be made on the government portal, i.e Co-WIN.
