HYDERABAD: The Telangana government commenced vaccination drive for students going abroad for further studies at the Institute of Preventive Medicine (IPM), Narayanaguda on Saturday.
However, it has left many students from the districts in a dilemma over their participation in the government organised vaccination drive.
So far, close to 7,000 foreign-bound students have been registered with health department.
A total of 350 students will be given Covishield at IPM every day.
The government has sought special permissions from the firm to decrease time interval between two doses to four weeks.
Students have raised concerns over government’s failure in arranging vaccinations in districts.
