As the vaccination drive in the country has been augmented, Prime Minister condemned the misinformation being spread regarding the COVID-19 vaccine and advised people to be alert. He also informed that over 23 crore COVID vaccine doses have been administered in the country and the supply of vaccines will increase in the coming days.
PM Modi speaks on Vaccine Rumours
"Those who are creating apprehension about the vaccine, spreading rumours, they are playing with the lives of innocent brothers and sisters. One needs to be careful with such rumours. I appeal to the youth, Intellectuals, samaritans to spread awareness about the vaccine," said PM Modi
जो लोग भी वैक्सीन को लेकर आशंका पैदा कर रहे हैं, अफवाहें फैला रहे हैं, वो भोले-भाले भाई-बहनों के जीवन के साथ बहुत बड़ा खिलवाड़ कर रहे हैं।

The vaccine supply will be increasing in the coming days. Seven companies in the country are producing different vaccines and three vaccine trials are at an advanced stage," he said.
हर आशंका को दरकिनार करके भारत ने 1 साल के भीतर ही एक नहीं बल्कि दो मेड इन इंडिया वैक्सीन्स लॉन्च कर दी।

Both State and Centre will work as per new guidelines in the coming two weeks. From June 21, there'll be free vaccines for people above 18 years.

PM speaks on vaccine charge at Pvt Hospitals
PM Modi also stated that now Private hospitals can only charge Rs 150 as a service charge on vaccines.
"Private sector hospitals can take 25 per cent of the vaccine being made in the country directly, this system will continue. Private hospitals will be able to charge a maximum service charge of Rs 150 for a single dose after the fixed price of the vaccine. The state government will be monitoring the task," PM said.
देश में बन रही वैक्सीन में से 25 प्रतिशत, प्राइवेट सेक्टर के अस्पताल सीधे ले पाएं, ये व्यवस्था जारी रहेगी।

प्राइवेट अस्पताल, वैक्सीन की निर्धारित कीमत के उपरांत एक डोज पर अधिकतम 150 रुपए ही सर्विस चार्ज ले सकेंगे।
