"Vaccination done. A big thank you to all our health care workers and I urge everyone to get vaccinated when you get the opportunity." Senior India opener Shikhar Dhawan received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday.
Head coach Ravi Shastri has got both his doses. He got his first jab in the first week of March, when vaccination was made open for all senior citizens. In order to ramp up the coronavirus vaccination drive in the country, the Centre had last month announced a 'liberalised and accelerated' Phase 3 strategy of COVID-19 vaccination from May 1. Now, everyone above the age of 18 are eligible to get COVID-19 vaccine.
