India has offered booster shots to all above 18 years as it widened a campaign to vaccinate its 1.4 billion people against Covid-19. Experts praised the move and said it will also ease hurdles Indians face while travelling abroad.
The 10 April rollout was hailed by experts who said boosters will lead to milder infection among the elderly and ease the strain on hospitals, overwhelmed by a savage virus surge that killed 180,000 people last summer.
