NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday inaugurated a free COVID-19 vaccination facility for journalists and their family members at a government school in ITO.

While addressing the media here, the Chief Minister said that the service will be extended to family members above the age of 18.

"We have started this facility to vaccinate journalists and their family members in both 45+ and 18 to 44 age categories," Kejriwal said.

Earlier on May 7, the Delhi Government had announced a mass COVID-19 vaccination drive for all the media houses -- electronic, digital and print - in the national capital. It will bear the cost of the vaccination, Kejriwal had said.
