Vaccination campaign picks up pace after revised guidelines
As per the revised guidelines, the dose of vaccine provided free of cost by the Center will be allocated to the states and union territories based on parameters like population, level of spread of the disease and progress of vaccination, etc. Vaccine wastage will harm allocation.

These doses will be administered by the States/UTs free of cost to all citizens on a priority basis through Government Immunization Centers. Union Territories can set their priorities in the vaccine supply program.
These guidelines stated that to encourage production and new vaccines by vaccine manufacturers, domestic vaccine manufacturers have also been given the option of providing vaccines directly to private hospitals which shall not exceed 25 percent of their monthly production.
In line with these guidelines, States/UTs will collect demand from private hospitals given equitable distribution of vaccines between large and small private hospitals and regional balance.
The guidelines stated that the price of vaccine doses for private hospitals would be announced by each vaccine manufacturer, and any subsequent changes would be notified in advance. The revised guidelines stated that all citizens are entitled to free vaccination, irrespective of their income, and those who can pay are encouraged to use vaccination centers of private hospitals. is.
To promote the spirit of 'public welfare', the use of non-transferable electronic vouchers will be encouraged, which can be redeemed at private immunization centers, it said. This will enable people to help financially for the immunization of economically weaker sections at private immunization centers.
