Uttar Pradesh started administering booster shots (precaution dose) from January 10. Over 31.20 lakh ‘precaution doses’ have been administered in the state so far.

To speed up the vaccination drive for children in the state, Yogi Adityanath has also asked concerned officials to ensure adequate availability of vaccine doses and encourage the eligible kids to take the vaccine cover.

The government is also paying special attention to the provision of booster shots (precaution dose) to the eligible beneficiaries.

Aggressive vaccination is an integral part of the comprehensive strategy of the UP government to contain the pandemic, along with adherence to coronavirus-appropriate behaviour.
