COVID-19 vaccination drive: Third round to commence in Mohali district from today

Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan said that in the third round, the vaccine will be administered to all senior citizens; all citizens born in 1961 and earlier are eligible. “The vaccination window is also open for 45 to 59 years old persons with co-morbidities as specified by government (list of specified co-morbidities attached). This entails that all citizens born in 1976 and earlier suffering from specified co-morbidities are eligible. Certification from registered medical practitioner regarding the co-morbidity is mandatory,” the DC said.

The DC said that pre-registration for vaccination is not mandatory in this round of vaccination as was in the case of healthcare workers (HCWs) and frontline workers (FLWs). The DC added that people who want to take the jab, can pre-register at COWIN 2.0 portal or just walk in for the same.

According to the DC, the vaccine will be administered free of cost in all government hospitals while private hospitals are authorised to charge Rs 150 per dose and can charge up to Rs 100 additional as service provision charges.

The DC said that as per World Health Organisation, COVID-19 vaccination is the single way out to deal with pandemic so the eligible beneficiaries should avail maximum benefit of this opportunity.
