Teenagers across India have been queuing to get their first Covid-19 jabs after the government extended its vaccination programme to those aged 15-18 on January 3, 2022. It comes as cities start tightening restrictions as fears grow of a surge in infections from the Omicron variant. With cases on the rise, officials want to avoid a similar outbreak to the one that ravaged the country last spring. So far, the country has administered over 1.4 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines, but just less than half the country is fully inoculated.
