The Health Ministry has expanded its list of prioritized recipients, and has hastened prevention for patients with existing respiratory conditions, cancer patients, children below the age of three, patients receiving dialysis, and those above the age of 65.

While the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) has said that their vaccine reserves are low, it has continued to prioritize vaccinating the aforementioned groups. ADK Hospital is also administering vaccines for MVR 163.
