Liberalised Vaccine Policy

During the implementation of "Liberalized Pricing and Accelerated National COVID-19 Vaccination Strategy" from May 1 to June 20, the total number of doses administered declined, the Lok Sabha was informed on Friday.

Covid vaccine allocation to states may be negatively affected by high wastage rates, the government said Tuesday as part of revised rules for the national vaccination drive

The centre on Saturday defended its liberalised vaccine policy and said the media reports suggesting inequities in distribution of doses were "inaccurate and speculative in nature".

Documents that show the Centre has fixed specific quotas for how much vaccine the Delhi government can directly purchase from manufacturers appear to contradict the liberalised vaccination policy that came into effect on May 1.

Vaccination is expected to become costlier from May 1 and several political parties have questioned the government's new policy liberalising vaccine sales and deregulating prices.
