More than 40 lakh teenagers in the 15-18 age group received their first dose of #Covid19 vaccines on Monday. Some concerns were raised about ‘expired’ #Covaxin being administered to this younger group, leading to the Health Ministry issuing a clarification. 
The Ministry described these claims as “false and misleading” and said these were based on “incomplete information”. It pointed out that the shelf life of #Covaxin, the only vaccine being given to the people below 18 years of age, had been extended: indianexpress.com/article/india/…
