Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced today that the Centre would provide vaccines free of charge to all above 18 from June 21 and would take back control of vaccination from states, in a do-over of rules that were enforced about a month ago. “”The Centre is taking back total control of vaccination now. It will take over the 25 per cent doses assigned to states and this will be implemented in the next two weeks. From June 21 (International Day of Yoga), the Centre will provide free vaccines to states,”” PM Modi announced in an address to the nation, in which he parried criticism of his government’s vaccine policy. The Centre will buy 75 per cent of the vaccines produced by companies, including 25 per cent assigned to states.
