India Liberalises Covid-19 Vaccination: All Aged Above 18 To Be Eligible For Inoculation From 1 May Covid-19 vaccine. (Representative image) Everyone above the age of 18 will be eligible to get the Covid-19 vaccination from 1 May. A decision to this tune was taken during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi today (19 April). Indiaâs National Covid-19 Vaccination Strategy has been built on a systematic and strategic end-to-end approach, proactively building capacity across R&D, Manufacturing and Administration since April 2020. India has been following a dynamic mapping model based on availability of vaccines and coverage of vulnerable priority groups to take decisions of when to open up vaccinations to other age-groups. A good amount of coverage of vulnerable groups is expected by 30 April.
