The government Friday deferred the vaccination drive for the age group of 18-45.
DIPR Jammu and Kashmir tweeted: “While the registration for vaccination of eligibles persons in the age group 18-45 has been opened on COWIN, the actual vaccination will *not begin* from 1 May 2021. It will begin from a date to be announced later once the vaccine supply is established.”
In another tweet DIPR said: “Vaccination will not be a walk in but only through pre-registration of slots. No slots have been opened for booking a session. Please wait for the announcement of the vaccination start date for the 18-45 age group.”
“Vaccination continues for the above 45 age group normally.”
J&K has ordered 1.24 crores vaccine to cover the entire 18-45 age group. This is among the highest in the country.
“18-45 age group persons are requested not to crowd vaccination centers without booking slots. Please wait for the start date announcement,” the government said.
