He asked people who are eligible for the Covaxin shot to come forward and get it to fight off this disease. He was administered Covxin which is developed by Bharat Biotech and ICMR. Two nurses from Kerala and Puducherry respectively, Rosamma Anil and P Niveda were the ones who administered the dose to PM Modi.
He did not arrive at the hospital through any special route and chose to take the shot early.
