Vaccination must be taken, says Modi in 'Mann Ki Baat',
Vaccination must be taken, Modi said in 'Mann Ki Baat', the question of the opposition is where is the vaccine?
As the days go by, the Modi government itself is pushing back its own goal of vaccination.
The Center had said in its affidavit to the Supreme Court that the target was to vaccinate everyone over the age of 18 by December this year. But last Friday, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandabia told parliament that it was impossible to say whether everyone in the country could be vaccinated within the stipulated time (December). Within a day, Union Minister Piyush Gayal said on Saturday that everyone would get at least one dose of the Kovid vaccine by December.
On Sunday morning, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reiterated in his radio message 'Mann Ki Baat' that there could be a danger if the vaccine is not taken. To encourage everyone to get vaccinated, the Prime Minister cited the example of herself and her 100-year-old mother, who both received two doses of the vaccine. But the question of the opposition, where is the vaccine? The Prime Minister is asking everyone to get vaccinated. But due to the lack of vaccines, the rate of daily vaccination is increasing by leaps and bounds.
Congress alleges that 80 per cent of the country's population needs to be vaccinated to stem the tide. If it is to be done by December, 93 lakh doses of vaccine need to be given daily. But last week, an average of 36 lakh doses of vaccine were given daily. Only 23 lakh doses of vaccine were given throughout the day on Saturday. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today quipped, "Vaccination would not have happened if the country had understood what was going on." CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury remarked, Yes. Now, Piyush Gayal, a minister in his government, has corrected it, saying that by December, almost everyone will get a dose of the vaccine. ”
Giving 1 crore doses of vaccine daily means giving 30 crore doses of vaccine per month. Earlier, the Modi government had promised to vaccinate at the same rate. But Goyal said that now 12 crore vaccines are being given every month. In the next one or two months, it will increase to 15 crores. At the end of the year, it will probably touch 20 crores.
The Prime Minister said in 'Mann Ki Baat' today that Corona has not left yet. So Kovid must adhere to hygiene rules. Hesitating to comment on the vaccine, the Prime Minister said, "I have taken two doses of the vaccine myself, my 100-year-old mother has taken two doses of the vaccine. Sometimes a mild fever is coming.
But very little, for a few hours. Not getting vaccinated can be dangerous. "Yechury's question:" Prime Minister Modi, where is the vaccine? In the last six months, less than 10 per cent of the population over the age of 18 has been vaccinated. The budget allocated Rs 35,000 crore for vaccination. The cost has been only 9625 crore rupees. Less than one-third. "
The Prime Minister today spoke of patriotism in his 'Mann Ki Baat'. On the occasion of Kargil Victory Day, he asked everyone to read about the Kargil war. August 15 marks the 75th anniversary of the country's independence. Proud of the athletes who went to the Tokyo Olympics, the Prime Minister said to support them.
