नववर्ष के अवसर पर आज से 15 से 18 वर्ष की आयु के बच्चों के #COVID19 टीकाकरण हेतु COWIN पोर्टल पर रेजिस्ट्रेशन शुरू किए जा रहें है।
मेरा परिजनों से आग्रह है की पात्र बच्चों के टीकाकरण हेतु उनका रेजिस्ट्रेशन करें। #SabkoVaccineMuftVaccine
The teens belonging to the age bracket can book their slots on CoWIN website using their school ID cards.
