As India faces the world's worst Covid surge, its daily cases surpassing the US today, the government last week opened vaccinations to all adults for the first time.

According to the new vaccine rules, states and private entities can buy vaccines directly for inoculations.

The centre will continue to vaccinate those declared eligible so far - frontline workers, health workers and those above 45.

Apart from Serum Institute of India's Covishield and Bharat Biotech's Covaxin, Russia's Sputnik will soon be used, the government says.

Yesterday, Serum said its vaccine would be sold at Rs 400 to states and at Rs 600 to private hospitals.
