The COVID vaccination drive is in full swing. From March 1 onwards, all people above the age of 60 and those above 45 with co-morbidities will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.  This is the second phase of India’s COVID vaccination programme and it will benefit 10 crore people across the whole nation.

The Central government published a full list of hospitals (both private and government-operated) where COVID vaccines will be administered. 

The list contains the names of 10,000 hospitals under Ayushman Bharat (also known as Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana – PMJAY) and 600 hospitals under the Central Government Health Scheme. Every state also has the freedom to turn any private hospital under State Government Health Insurance Scheme and PSUs into COVID Vaccination Centres. On the very first day, 100 people at every COVID Vaccination Centre are expected to receive the vaccine.
