I welcome the decision to provide the vaccine for free .... Chief Minister Stalin praises Prime Minister Modi ...

I welcome the decision to provide free vaccines to the states, while Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin has demanded that state governments be given full freedom in vaccine registration and distribution.

Prime Minister Modi has said that the vaccine will be given free of cost to people above the age of 18 across the country and henceforth the federal government will distribute the vaccines, which will be fully run by the central government. He said that from now on the vaccines will be distributed by the central government and will be fully run by the central government.

75% of the vaccine produced in India will be procured by the Central Government and given to the State Governments. Prime Minister Modi has said that the scheme will come into effect from June 21.

In this context, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin has welcomed Prime Minister Modi's announcement. I welcome the decision of the states to provide the vaccine free of cost. The decision of the United Kingdom to purchase 75% of the vaccine produced in India is welcome. I applaud Prime Minister Modi for changing his previous stance on the vaccine.

Decision to buy vaccine from abroad .. 3 more vaccines in trial stage .. PM talk!

At the same time the health sector is likely to come under state control. The Prime Minister himself has mentioned this in many places. Stalin said it would be appropriate to give state governments full freedom to register vaccines, including direct distribution to the public.
