Kejriwal inaugurates free COVID-19 vaccination facility for journalists

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday inaugurated a free COVID-19 vaccination facility for journalists and their family members at a government school in ITO.

While addressing the media here, the Chief Minister said that the service will be extended to family members above the age of 18.

"We have started this facility to vaccinate journalists and their family members in both 45+ and 18 to 44 age categories," Kejriwal said.
