She said they will be sending an SMS to all the eligible citizens.

"Please should not panic and create unnecessary public gathering as there are enough of vaccines for all," she tweeted.

Dr Guruge told Daily Mirror that all those who have received COVID jab from one of the vaccine centres in Colombo City, will be getting an SMS.

When asked when will the booster dose be given to 30 plus in other areas, she said the booster rollout for them will commence by next week covering entire country.

The booster dose is currently being administered to 60 plus and people above 30 with comorbidities. (Sheain Fernandopulle)
