- Merry Christmas to you all. We are in the last week of this year. The new year is about to come. All of you are preparing to welcome 2022. But along with enthusiasm and zeal, this is also the time to be alert. Today, infection is increasing in many countries of the world due to the new variant Omicron of Corona.
- The second weapon is vaccination. Realizing the seriousness of this disease in our country too, long ago started working in mission mode on vaccine manufacturing. Along with research on the vaccine, we also worked continuously on the approval process, supply chain, training, distribution, certification. The result of these preparations was that India started giving the vaccine to its citizens from January 16 this year. It is the collective effort and collective will of all the citizens of the country that today India has crossed the unprecedented and very difficult target of 141 crore vaccine doses. Today, more than 61 percent of India’s adult population has taken both doses. Similarly, 90 percent of adults have been given a single dose of the vaccine.
- Omicron’s discussions are currently in full swing. Situations are different regarding this and estimates are also different. Today, 11 months have been completed since our vaccination. In such a situation, what scientists have studied. Some decisions have also been taken on that. Today is Atal ji’s birthday and it is also the festival of Christmas. So some decisions have been taken.
- For children who are 15 to 18 years old, now vaccination will start for them. In 2022, the vaccination program will start from 3rd January on Monday. This will not only strengthen the fight against Corona, it will also reduce the anxiety of parents of school-college going children.
- Citizens with comorbidities above 60 years of age will be given preconception dosage on the advice of their doctor. This too will be operational from January 10. I have a request that all efforts to create fear should be avoided.
- We have run the world’s largest vaccination campaign till date. The efforts of all of us will strengthen the country against Corona. Thank you all so very much.
