The Centre on Thursday issued guidelines for setting up of vaccination camps at airports for aviation personnel.
The guidelines require airport operators to tie-up with State governments or private service providers such as hospitals for setting up COVID-19 vaccination centres. T
The government has also identified certain personnel to be covered on priority, including air traffic controllers, pilots and cabin crew as well as passenger- facing staff.
The move follows a letter written by Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, last month to State governments requesting them to consider personnel involved in the aviation sector as a priority group under their vaccination programmes.
