Sonu Sood, who emerged as a real-life hero for the underprivileged during the lockdown brought on by the novel coronavirus pandemic, is now talking about relaxing the age limit for Covid-19 vaccines. The actor took to Twitter to urge the Ministry of Health to announce Covid-19 vaccinations for people who are 25 years of age and above as the country is witnessing a surge in cases. Sonu himself received the first shot of Covid vaccine on World Health Day, April 7, as part of his initiative Sanjeevani A Shot of Life. It aims to raise awareness about Covid-19 vaccination drive. I urge @MoHFW_INDIA to consider 25 years and above getting vaccinated too. With number of cases rising and even kids getting infected in large numbers with virus it's high time we announce the vaccination for 25 years and above. Max number of cases I come across are youngsters. Got my vaccine today and now it's time to get whole of my country vaccinated. Started the biggest vaccination drive "Sanjeevani" which will bring awareness and get our people vaccinated. @IlaajIndia @Network18Group @SoodFoundation pic.twitter.com/lxhRv004De According to Sonu Sood, maximum number of Covid-19 cases have been diagnosed among youngsters. He feels in order to deal with the surge in new infections, the government should lower the age eligibility to receive vaccines to 25 years.
