JAIPUR: Starting at a slow pace, only 33 beneficiaries in the age group of 18-59 year were administered the paid Covid booster dose on Sunday at private hospitals across the state. All the 33 doses were given in Jaipur, while in the remaining 32 districts, not a single beneficiary received the paid booster dose for the age group.
A senior health department official said, "The Covid booster vaccination started across the state from Sunday. Across the state, 33 persons received the booster doses, after receiving the second Covid dose nine months ago. The Centre has allowed booster doses for beneficiaries from 18-59 year to boost immunity against Covid. It will also help the beneficiaries travelling to countries which are demanding booster dose certification."
