Coronavirus infection is on the rise in many parts of the country. With that in mind, the federal government has decided to vaccinate people over the age of 18 from May 1. The prime minister made the decision after meeting with pharmaceutical companies and doctors across the country.
The federal government has announced that more than 50 percent of states will be vaccinated. The manufacturer will provide 50 percent of the vaccine to the center. The remaining 50 percent of vaccines can be delivered to states and the open market. The state government and industry have been allowed to buy vaccines directly from producers at fixed rates.
The Indian government will provide 50 percent of the vaccine to the states. However, there are three criteria for vaccine distribution. The number of vaccinations will be determined by which state from the central quota. The three criteria are infections and how many active cases are there in the state, how is covid management. Depending on how expensive the vaccine is, it will be up to the states to decide.
