New Delhi: The Centre on Wednesday said that it will not mix coronavirus vaccines when administering booster doses.

Booster dose of the Covid-19 vaccine will be given to healthcare workers, frontline workers and those aged 60 years and above with comorbidities will be the same as that of the first two jabs, the government said on Wednesday.

All arrangements are on track to start inoculating the beneficiaries in these categories from January 10, NITI Aayog member (Health) Dr VK Paul said, addressing the weekly briefing on Covid-19.
