The Goa health department had earlier set a target of vaccinating one lakh adolescents aged between 15 to 18 years. However, the total turnout has been very low in the state, as the lack of awareness among the masses prevails. Health authorities in the state have been urging the parents to ensure that their children who have completed the compulsory gap of 28 days, take the second dose. In addition, schools and other educational institutions have been tasked to ensure the vaccination of every eligible individual only after the parent’s consent.

So far a total of 46,128 children aged 15-18 years have been inoculated with the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in the state. The state is currently equipped with 76 vaccination centres (75 government-owned and 1 private centre). As per the announcement by the health officials, with better awareness and less dependency on the rumours on social media platforms, the state is expected to see a better turnout for the second Covid-19 vaccine dose and the remaining first dose. Goa has so far inoculated 11,60,076 citizens with both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
