Expand vax drive: PM to colleagues

New Delhi, October 21

The Council of Ministers at a meeting on Thursday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership and the milestone of crossing the 1 billion dose mark, with the PM asking his colleagues to “look forward and expand the inoculation to cover the hitherto uncovered adults”.

Earlier, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur at the Union Cabinet briefing said, “The landmark of one billion doses is the result of PM’s leadership. Not just the government, the entire country knows that. The milestone is also a reply to those who createed suspicions over India’s vaccination drive and promoted vaccine hesitancy by putting question marks on indigenous vaccines.” — TNS
