Modi stressed need for planed vaccination drives at the district level
The COVID pandemic should not be a matter of politics and is a matter of concern for entire humanity, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday. Mankind hasn’t seen such a pandemic in the last 100 years, Mr Modi said while interacting with floor leaders of parties of both houses of the Parliament at a special briefing on the COVID-19 situation organised by the PMO. The Prime Minister stressed the need to properly plan the vaccination drives at the district level based on the advance availability indicated by the Central government to ensure no inconvenience to the people. He said it is a matter of concern that a significant number of Healthcare workers and Frontline workers are yet to get the vaccine even after six months since the drive commenced and added that States need to be more proactive towards this.More Related News
