It was States that wanted lifting of curbs on vaccine supplies, says Health Minister
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Sunday denied the allegation that the Centre was getting COVID-19 vaccines for cheap while the States would not and said it was the States that wanted lifting of curbs on vaccine supplies. In a statement on the liberalised vaccine policy, which comes into effect from May 1 and gives 50% of the vaccine supply to the Centre and 50% to States and private organisations, Dr. Harsh Vardhan said it was “unfortunate” that misinformation was being spread about the new phase of vaccination. He said the Centre would continue to procure 50% of the vaccine supply and provide to States for free distribution.
