Headlines: Centre To Bear Cost of Vaccination For Healthcare and Frontline Workers- PM Tells State CMs

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the Centre will bear the cost of vaccinating three crore healthcare and frontline workers across the country, while asking states not to buy vaccines directly and make all purchases through the Union government. In his interaction with chief ministers of all states to discuss the pandemic situation and vaccination roll-out in the country, Modi further said it should be ensured that public representatives, a reference to politicians, do not jump queues and take vaccines ahead of other citizens. The PM said the Centre will be the single agency for all vaccine purchases. Sources said HLL Lifecare Limited, a public sector undertaking, will be procuring the vials on behalf of the government.
