They also insisted that she did take the vaccine later on by taking a direct jab on her skin.
Ministers across the political spectrum are getting themselves vaccinated in the second phase of the Covid-19 vaccination drive. Prime Minister Modi himself had taken the vaccine early morning on the 1st of March itself.
Citizens above the age of 60 and those over 45 with specified comorbidities are eligible for the vaccine in the second phase.
