The National Technical Group on Corona Vaccination (NTAGI) will meet today. There may be a discussion of immunisation of children and the administration of additional doses to the elderly.

Who will be given the Booster Dose?

The booster dose will be given to the people who already had both vaccines after a fixed time. At the same time, those who have immune system problems are given additional doses. Antibodies are not developed in sufficient quantity in such people. That's why they are given extra doses of the vaccine. This decision was made due to the danger posed by the new variant Omicron. However, till now 22 cases have been reported in India. Mansukh Mandaviya, the Health Minister, recently told Parliament that a group of experts is looking into the issue scientifically. 2 people who returned from Dubai to Patna were corona positive and had taken both doses of the vaccination.

Health Department is waiting for the genome sequencing report

Both the infected people of Patna returning from Dubai had taken both doses of Pfizer vaccine. Even after this, Corona has caught him. Both are residents of Patna. Both had returned to Patna 10 days ago. Now after the report of both of them came positive, there is a stir in the health department. Corona has broken the vaccine's symptom line. Now the Health Department is waiting for the genome sequencing report. If a case of a new variant of corona comes in both the infected, then there will be a big danger for Bihar.
