Vaccination For All Age Groups Not Anytime Soon, Says Centre
NDTV
The government today rejected calls to open vaccination to all, a demand by at least two Chief Ministers, saying this as not the time to reduce focus on the pandemic.
"The approach is that those vulnerable to mortality need to be covered soonest. The aim to protect the most vulnerable. The aim is never to vaccinate whoever wants, but always on whoever needs," said Rajesh Bhushan, Union Health Secretary.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his Maharashtra counterpart Uddhav Thackeray are among those who have called for opening up vaccination to more age groups.
