As this is the period where students travel abroad for their higher studies, the Indian government has given special permission for students to receive their second dose after 4 weeks of receiving their first dose. This special permission will be granted only when students produce proper documents like their admission card, visa, flight ticket, etc. By showing these documents, under the special permission category, students can receive their second dose at the Municipality Health Centres.
