In a significant step to exponentially expand the countrywide Vaccination drive, the Centre has decided to operationalize both public and private sector COVID Vaccination Centres on all days this month. The Centre has written to all the States and UTs today and asked them to make necessary arrangements to provide COVID vaccination in these Centres on all days of the month including gazetted holidays.
This step has been
taken after detailed deliberations with the States and UTs to optimally utilize all COVID Vaccination Centres across the public and private sectors to ensure rapid increase in the pace and coverage of COVID vaccination.
This decision is in line with the graded and pro-active approach employed by the Government of India along with the States and UTs for COVID-19 vaccination.
