PM Modi congratulates countrymen on launch of COVID-19 vaccination drive

India has begun a nationwide vaccination drive against the novel coronavirus on January 16.

During the event, the PM congratulated all the countrymen on this occasion and said the COVID-19 is available now.

He said, "Everyone was asking as to when the vaccine will be available.

It is available now.

I congratulate all the countrymen on this occasion." In the first phase government and private sector healthcare workers including Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) workers, will receive the vaccine.

The Centre has planned to vaccinate around 3 lakh healthcare workers at 2,934 session sites on the first day of the inoculation drive.

The drive will be held daily from 9am to 5pm, except on the days earmarked for routine immunisation programmes.

The central government has introduced an application named CoWIN (Covid Vaccine Intelligence Work) to monitor the entire vaccination process.
