Earlier, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao announced free Covid-19 vaccination for all the citizens above 18 years from May 1.
However, the drive has been canceled due to lack of vaccine stock. Registration for vaccination has started three days ago and thousands of people had registered themselves for vaccination.
