PM Modi was administered Bharat BioTech’s Covaxin by Sister P Niveda from Puducherry. The second nurse was Rosamma Anil from Kerala.

Meanwhile, India today entered the second phase of Covid-19 vaccinations with registrations open for senior citizens (60 years and above) and those aged 45 to 60 years with comorbidities.

For getting the shot, eligible people will have to register to the Co-Win 2.0 portal or through other IT applications.

A person can register as many as four beneficiaries with a single mobile number. However, the beneficiaries would have to produce identity proofs separately.
