"The government of India will provide free vaccines to the states from Monday, June 21, in every state for all citizens above the age of 18 years," Modi said. The Prime Minister said that the Government of India will buy 75 per cent of the total vaccine production from vaccine manufacturers and give it free to the state governments.

Modi also said that 25 per cent of the vaccines being made in the country will be provided directly to the private hospitals where they will be able to charge a maximum service fee of Rs 150 for a single dose after the fixed price of the vaccine. "The task of monitoring it will remain with the state governments," the Prime Minister added.
