p style=”text-align: justify;”>The Congress leader’s statement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement on Saturday that health workers and frontline workers would be given ‘precautionary diet’ from January 10. In his address to the nation, the Prime Minister had said that people above 60 years of age and suffering from other diseases would be given preventive doses on the advice of doctors.
The Congress leader tweeted, “The central government has accepted my suggestion of a booster dose – this is the right step. Vaccine shield and booster dose should be made available to all citizens of the country. He used the hashtags “boosterjab” and “vaccinateindia” for this. The former Congress president also tagged his December 22 tweet, in which he said that a large part of the country’s population was still not vaccinated, as well as questioned when the government would introduce booster doses. .
