Second, they may assist the policyholder as a group to get vaccinated in an orderly manner by assisting them and making advance arrangements through pre-booking slots. Thirdly, the policyholders may be reminded for the 2nd shot of vaccine in time," the regulator had said in a note dated 3 March 2021.
