Centre closes vaccine registration for healthcare, frontline workers following reports of fake entries

The Central government has decided to close the registration of healthcare and frontline workers for COVID-19 vaccination after reports of fake registration under these categories came to the fore. About 24 per cent spike in registration under these categories has been observed in the last few days. In a letter to states and union territories, Health Ministry Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said that some ineligible beneficiaries are being registered as healthcare and frontline workers and getting vaccinated in complete violation of the prescribed guidelines.
