A total of 3,89,127 beneficiaries above the age of 60 years and those between 45 years and 59 years of age with comorbid conditions have received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccine in Telangana.

With cases rising, doctors say patients, especially those with comorbidities, are seeking advice on whether they should take the vaccine. Director of cardiology & clinical research at Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills, Dr A Sreenivas Kumar said, “I have



been receiving at least 10 to 20 questions every day seeking advice about the vaccine. 

Vaccination could play an important role in preventing spread and averting further rise of second and third wave which are predicted.”

“The second dose of Covid-19 vaccination to individuals in the priority group will start from March 29 across Telangana,” a state health department statement read.
