As multiple vaccines against the novel coronavirus are at various stages of development in the country, the Andhra Pradesh government has constituted a state-level steering committee to ensure coordination with all line departments, and mobilisation of resources. Minister for Industries, Commerce and Information Technology, Mekapati Goutham Reddy, on Wednesday, shared that the healthcare workers in Andhra Pradesh will be given the top priority in administering the COVID vaccine.

Taking to Twitter, the Andhra Pradesh IT Minister wrote, “Our government has set up a steering committee of 18 members to chalk out the distribution of COVID Vaccine. Healthcare workers will be the first to be vaccinated against the novel coronavirus whenever a vaccine is ready for the public.”
