    'India's vaccines will give decisive victory to our country'

  • "The DCGI (drug regulator) gave approval after they were satisfied with the data of the two vaccines (Covishield and COVAXIN). So stay away from rumors," PM Modi said, adding that the vaccines will give "decisive victory to our country."

    Three lakh set to be vaccinated today

  • On the first day of the vaccination drive, nearly three lakh healthcare workers will receive the vaccine shot.
