Have any of the Goan politicians registered themselves to take a jab of the Covid vaccine? Answering this question, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said he could not register for the vaccination on January 15 since he does not come under the bracket of a healthcare worker and also he has not crossed the age of 50.
