The Apollo Hospitals Group announced that it would begin vaccinating individuals between the ages of 18 to 44 years from 1st May 2021.

The second wave of Covid-19 infections has seen younger patients getting affected and vaccinating everyone above the age of 18 will help in stopping the rise in COVID cases in the country.

Realizing the need of vaccinating the citizens to mitigate the impact of the second wave of COVID infections, Apollo Hospitals has taken the initiative and made arrangements to procure the vaccines directly from the manufacturers, as per the Government directive.

Apollo Hospitals will be among the first within the Indian private hospitals to start Covid-19 vaccinations in the third phase of the vaccination drive.

As per the Government guidelines, the vaccines will be administered to eligible individuals who have registered on the CoWIN app and have made an appointment for the vaccine jab at Apollo Hospitals. The vaccination program will begin with limited quantities and be ramped up in the weeks ahead. Apollo Hospitals will also be organizing special camps for corporates.

The vaccines would be priced as per the guidelines issued by the Central Government.
