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.

BJP MP Jamyang Namgyal and state Health Department Director Dr Phuntsog Angchuk received the vaccine at Leh airport.
