The vaccination drive for children in the age group of 12 to 14 years will start in the city today. However, the Co-WIN app is yet to be upgraded for the age group and the stock of Corbevax, the only vaccine approved for the age group, is limited. The drive will start as a two-day pilot at select centres from 12 noon on walk-in basis, and age of the beneficiaries will be checked manually using IDs for the time being.
