Chandigarh, December 28

Chandigarh’s Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research said it was ready to administer two doses of Covaxin to teenagers between 15 and 18 at its paediatric centre.

Those eligible for the vaccine in that age group will get two shots of Bharat Biotech’s Covaxin at an interval of 28 days, the hospital said in a statement. This vaccination drive will begin on January 3

Parents or guardians could register their wards on the Cowin app.

The hospital will begin to administer “precautionary” doses at its LT -1 Nehru building from January 10, the hospital’s statement said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
