Telangana Covid Vaccine

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has alleged that the Central government did everything possible to "forcefully" prevent import of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer, especially when people were ready to get the best vaccine.

The number of cases of fast-spreading strain Omicron has risen to 213 in India, with Delhi and Maharashtra reporting the most number of infections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a meeting to review the situation tomorrow, sources told NDTV.

Drones will soon be used to transport vaccines to healthcare centres that are not easily accessible by road under the Telangana government's "Medicine from the Sky" initiative.

Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana were among states that reopened schools today even as Covid vaccination for children aged 12 and above is expected to begin in October.

The centre urged states to ensure the "extremely important" five-fold strategy of Covid-appropriate behaviour, test-track-treat and vaccination to prevent the spread of Covid.

Amid the acute shortage of COVID-19 vaccines across the country, Telangana IT Minister K Taraka Rama Rao has appealed to the central government to procure COVID-19 vaccines from other countries

The Telangana Government has granted permission to private COVID-19 vaccination centres and hospitals to administer vaccinations to people above the age of 18.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation and Directorate General of Civil Aviation have granted a conditional exemption to the Telangana government for conducting experimental Beyond Visual Line of Sight drone flights for delivery of COVID vaccines.

The Civil Aviation Ministry on Friday permitted the Telangana government to use drones for experimental delivery of vaccines beyond the visual line of sight.

Amid a doubling of active Covid-19 cases in the state and with even top officials getting infected, the Telangana High Court has pulled up the state government over vaccination and testing.

Fear of a second wave of Coronavirus is pushing the vaccination drive across the country. Today, vaccinations opened for those above 45 year who do not have other illnesses, but those opting for it are from all age groups, including healthcare worker

The average of COVID-19 vaccine wastage in India is 6.5 per cent, with Telangana and Andhra Pradesh recording 17.6 and 11.6 per cent wastage respectively, the Centre said today as it called for optimal utilisation of the jabs.

The COVID-19 vaccine is 99 per cent safe and it is important to get vaccinated, said Telangana Health Minister Eatala Rajender while hoping everyone would step forward to get inoculated in the coming days.

Telangana Health Minister Eatala Rajender, who had declared he would take the first vaccine shot, did not do so today citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "strict instruction" that health workers should be first in line.

The protocols for the vaccination drive against coronavirus in Telangana, expected to kick off by mid-January, will be very similar to the process of voting in an election.
