One crore health workers, both from public and private sectors, will be the first to get vaccine for immunity against Covid-19. Then it will be the turn of two crore frontline workers, including police, armed forces personnel and municipal workers to get the shot. A presentation regarding this was given by Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan at a meeting presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
