NEW DELHI: The vaccination drive for those 18 years and above began on a dull note in India on Saturday amid a shortage of vaccines in the country.

This comes after the Centre on April 19 had announced a 'liberalised' policy in order to ramp up the coronavirus vaccination drive in the country and made all above 18 years of age eligible to get vaccinated from May 1.
