NEW DELHI (AFP) – India extended COVID vaccinations to teens aged 15-18 yesterday, after officials tightened restrictions in big cities to avoid a repeat of last year’s devastating outbreak.
More than 200,000 people around India died in a huge spring virus wave that overwhelmed hospitals and crematoriums. Health workers have since administered more than 1.4 billion vaccine doses but less than half of India’s population is fully inoculated, according to government data.
