Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday and urged everyone eligible to get themselves inoculated. The chief minister, who has a history of diabetes, was administered the first dose of the vaccine at the LNJP Hospital in the city on March 4.
"I took my second dose of vaccine today. I urge everyone, whoever is eligible, to get vaccinated," Arvind Kejriwal said in a tweet after getting the shot.
