Several top political leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, have already taken the vaccines. Rajnath Singh was the first person to get a COVID-19 vaccine at the Army Hospital on Tuesday.

President Kovind had earlier said it was a matter of immense pride that India is conducting the world’s largest vaccination program. “Both the vaccines rolled out under this program are produced indigenously,” he had said.
