Kerala, which is struggling to keep rising cases under control also received the first batch of the vaccine in Mallapuram.

The southern state has more than 65,000 active cases of coronavirus, the highest in the country.

Ladakh also got 11,500 doses of the Covishield vaccine as part of the first phase of the vaccination program.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the vaccination program at 10:30 AM on January 16 with 3 crore health and frontline workers being listed to get the shots in the first phase.
