NEW DELHI: Vaccination centres are not allowed to ask for proof of travelling abroad from those seeking a booster, or precautionary, dose, the health ministry said on Friday.

In a meeting with states and union territories, Rajesh Bhushan, secretary, health ministry, said “Under no circumstances should any COVID19 Vaccination Centre or any State government insist on any documentary proof of foreign travel for those who are seeking a precaution dose." During the meeting, it was pointed out that in some states, people wishing to travel abroad and seeking a booster dose dose within 90 days of the second dose, are being asked to furnish proof of the intended journey.

The Centre recently allowed citizens and students travelling overseas to take booster covid-19 vaccine shots, as required by the guidelines of destination country.

India started its covid-19 vaccination drive last year in January, with country’s cumulative vaccination coverage now exceeding 191.96 crore.
