Ranchi/Jamshedpur: The registration and inoculation of more 37 lakh beneficiaries above the age of 60 and people with co-morbidities above 45 started across Jharkhand on Monday. As senior citizens flocked to vaccination centres, long queues were seen at various centres and some session sites also experienced technical glitches leading to a delay in the start of the drive.
Dr Ajit Prasad, state nodal officer for vaccination, said, “Any person who will reach the age of 60 on January 1, 2022, will be eligible for vaccination and can register themselves on the CoWIN 2.0 portal. The same goes for people suffering with co-morbidities and reaching 45 years of age. The beneficiaries can book a session through the portal or carry a specific set of documents and get themselves vaccinated at the site.”
