Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala started giving the Covaxin. Covaxin, an Indian-made Covid vaccine is being given by the Covid Front fighters to the Kerala Police in the second phase of vaccination.
Covaxin is given to Covid Front fighters by obtaining consent. But health workers should also be given the Covishield vaccine.
