We have deliberately formulated a policy on corona vaccination, no court intervention required: Central govt

- The center said that any patient of Corona can be admitted to any hospital across the country

New delhi date. Monday, May 10, 2021

The Central Government had provided the Supreme Court with the latest and detailed information on covid management in addition to vaccination. Prior to the hearing on Monday morning, the central government had taken a 218-page affidavit on Sunday evening answering all the questions of the court.

The central government, in defense of its vaccination policy, had told the Supreme Court that it did not need court intervention in the matter. The center said any Corona patient could be admitted to any hospital across the country. This means that an RTPCR report or an Aadhaar card is not required for those living in another city.

The number of covid centers, beds, doctors, nurses and medical staff has been increased, the central government said. According to the report, medical students are also being engaged in covid service work. An initiative has also been taken to provide financial incentives to those who work for 100 days. As vaccine production has increased, so has its availability. Vaccination of people over the age of 18 has also been started and states are also buying directly from vaccine manufacturers.

The cost of the vaccine is also mentioned in the affidavit. According to the government, it has been decided in consultation with vaccine manufacturers that all the states will get the vaccine at the same rate. However, the reason given by the Center for getting the vaccine cheaply was that the Center had given large orders and advance amount to the company.
