MP wanted to buy vaccine for 30,000 youths in Madurai using MPLAD Funds
Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan has expressed shock over the Centre’s rejection to his proposal of spending ₹ 1 crore from his MPLAD funds to procure COVID vaccines to vaccinate 30,000 youths in Madurai Constituency to take up voluntary services in fight against COVID. Responding to the MP’s request seeking permission to utilize the MPLAD funds, Secretary for Union Ministry for Health and Family Welfare, Rajesh Bhushan, said under Liberalized Pricing and Accelerated National COVID-19 Vaccination strategy, vaccines can be supplied to Government of India, State Governments and private hospitals. “Procurement of vaccine doses by individual entities would not be feasible under the present strategy,” the secretary said.
