KOLKATA: Around 6 crore individuals in the age group of 18-59 years in Bengal will be eligible for the precautionary third dose which is expected to be rolled out from Sunday. Only those who received their second dose nine months ago will receive the dose now. But those going for the booster shots in this age group will have to pay as the rollout has been planned only from private vaccination centres for the time being, according to an announcement by the health ministry.
The state health department is expected to get the details after meeting health ministry officials on Saturday morning.
