Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at Civil Hospital in Lucknow.
“I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Health Ministry for making the vaccine available free of cost. I also thank the scientists of the country. The vaccine is completely safe. We all should take it when our turn comes,” Adityanath said after taking the first dose.
“I appeal to the people to take all precautions even after taking the vaccine. The new COVID-19 wave is the result of our complacency in observing COVID appropriate behaviour,” he added.
On 1 April, India kickstarted the third phase of the world’s largest vaccination drive in which the government has opened the vaccination for all above the age of 45 years.
