Health Minister Anil Vij said that Covid vaccination of people aged between 18 and 45 years has started in all districts of the state from today.

Vij said that free vaccination would be done at all government hospitals and vaccination centres in the state.

For this, 66 lakh doses of Covid vaccine have been sought and its first batch has been received. Vaccination has been started at about 200 centres across the state.

The Health Minister said that about 1.1 crore people of the state fall in the age group of 18 to 45 years.

He said a special vaccination camp would be organised tomorrow at the MLA dispensary in which journalists could get themselves vaccinated by just bringing along their Aadhaar card. — TNS

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).
