Foreigners now eligible for Covid-19 vaccination in India

Foreign nationals residing in India are now eligible to receive Covid-19 vaccination in India. The foreign nationals can use their passport as an identity document for the purpose of registration on CoWIN portal. Once they are registered on this portal, they will get a slot for vaccination, a release by the health ministry said.

 

 

The health ministry said that it was important to vaccinate the large number of foreign population that resides in India, especially in large metropolitan areas. In these areas, the potential of spread of Covid-19 is high due to higher population density. To counter any possibility of such occurrence, it is important to vaccinate all eligible persons. Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya  on Monday announced on Twitter.

According to the ministry, this initiative will ensure the safety of foreign nationals residing in India. It will also bring down the possibilities of further transfer of infection from unvaccinated persons residing in India, and will also ensure overall safety from further transmission of Covid-19 virus.
