From May 1, all persons above 18 years of age were made eligible for COVID-19 vaccination.
As the country achieved the landmark of 100 crore COVID-19 vaccine doses administration, BJP president JP Nadda on Thursday said the Opposition underestimated the making of vaccines but Prime Minister Narendra Modi trusted the scientists that they will make the same within a stipulated time.
Expressing his gratitude to frontline workers and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr Nadda said, "India has achieved 100 crore COVID-19 vaccinations in less than 10 months. This shows our government's commitment to the health safety of every person in the country. I extend heartfelt thanks to Prime Minister Modi and express gratitude towards healthcare and frontline workers."
He further said, "Prime Minister Modi has taken pro-active and preemptive measures and constituted ''vaccine task force'' on April 14, 2020. Within nine months, India has launched two made-in-India vaccination and within 10 months, we achieved the landmark of 100 crores COVID-19 vaccination administration."
Mr Nadda emphasised the journey from "impossible" to "we can do this" and "we will do this" was not easy. Prime Minister Modi made countrymen believe that together the nation can achieve any target and take the country out of any problem.
