On the same day that India announced its decision to open up its vaccine drive for everyone over the age of 18 from May 1, a young Maharashtrian posted a picture of getting his second dose.
It didn’t help that Tanmay Fadnavis looked nowhere near 45, the current age bar for getting a Covid-19 vaccine in India. It also didn’t help that he is related to the former Maharashtra chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis. The young Fadnavis allegedly got the second dose of his vaccine and posted a picture of it on his public Instagram account. He later deleted his post.
