Tibetan Spiritual Leader Dalai Lama Administered First Dose Of Covid-19 Vaccine In Himachal's Dharamshala

Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama has been administered the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine on Saturday (6 March) at Himachal Pradesh's Dharamshala.

A video of the Tibetan spiritual leader getting vaccinated was also shared on his official Twitter account.

The development comes after the Dharamsala-based Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) had written to the Indian government, requesting it to make special provisions for Dalai Lama's vaccination.

The CTA, also known as the Tibetan government-in-exile, had asked the Centre and the Kangra district medical officer to vaccinate the Dalai Lama and those working around him at the earliest, reports Hindustan Times.
