Rajya Sabha MP & Congress Spokesperson, Shaktisinh Gohil, slammed centre’s vaccine policy to the 18-44 age group as “prima facie arbitrary and irrational” and asked why budgetary allocation of Rs 35,000 crore for vaccine procurement could not be used to inoculate this group free of cost.
“The importance of vaccinating individuals in the 18-44 age group, should have been a priority & replacing it with paid vaccination without a roadmap will not help.
