Raj Kamal Chaudhary, Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, today inaugurated the Covid vaccination drive for 12-14 year age group at the Mohali Civil Hospital. Punjab has set a target to vaccinate 8.65 lakh beneficiaries in this age group.

Chaudhary said on the recommendation of an expert group, the vaccination programme has been expanded to 12-14 age group. He said only Corbevax vaccine would be administered to the beneficiaries to this age group. —

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).
