The second phase of India's Covid-19 vaccination drive has started today. Now, those who are above 60 years and those with co-mobidities in the age group of 45-59 can get vaccinated against the dreaded virus to protect themself. The Health Ministry has released a list of co-morbidities that would make a person eligible for the vaccination. While people with co-morbidities can register just like those above 60, they would have to produce a certificate from a registered medical practitioner about their conditions at the time of the vaccination.
