"What do you think?" he questioned."It's up to you. The second dose can wait for more than 28 days as well," Guleria answered.Hours before Jaishankar, Dr Jitendra Singh, Minister of State for the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region, also took the shot at the institute.Day 1 of the third phase of the vaccination took off with Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking the vaccine jab at AIIMS around 6.30 a.m.Modi decided to get the jab early in the morning to avoid inconvenience to the public that may have occurred due to his security protocols, officials said.Vaccination will be provided free of charge to people above 60 and those above 45 with co-morbidities at the government health facilities and will be on a payment basis in the private health facilities.
