New Delhi, Apr 24 (IANS): A day after Chief Ministers raised about price uniformity of the vaccine to be administered from May 1, the health ministry has issued clarification on the issue.

"It is clarified that the Govt of India's procurement price for both #COVID19 vaccines remains at Rs 150 per dose. GOI procured doses will continue to be provided TOTALLY FREE to States," said a tweet by the Health Ministry.

Many Chief Ministers have written to the Prime Minister and Congress interim President Sonia Gandhi had also written to PM Modi expressing concern over different pricing for vaccines.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel in a meeting with the Prime Minister had urged that vaccines to states should be given at the rates of the Centre.

"Provide vaccine availability action plan to the states for operating vaccination campaign for the age group above 18 years soon. Producing states should not obstruct supply of life saving medicines," Baghel had said which is mentioned in the statement issued by the state government.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot had also raised a red flag over separate vaccine prices for Centre and states.

    If state governments can buy vaccines themselves, Why the same vaccine can not be ordered buy the central Government and distribute it to all the states..????? Mr. Modi a made a big show at the beginning to show the population of India that the vaccines will be provided free of cost nd now he has raised his hands and asked state governments to procure. So that blame of shortage of vaccines will not come on him. What was the necessity of exporting vaccines without catering to domestic need ????? With whose money he has given the vaccines free of cost to other countries ????? All these questions are to be asked to him by the opposition parties. Ruling government also not doing their duties properly and also the opposition. Useless politicians.

    Because of their hunger for power they spread Corona virus through out the country by huge election rallies & kumbh mela & responsible for huge number of casualties. Now giving free medicines as if they are giving from their own pockets. They have money to buy MLAS but dont have money to spend for common people. Shame on you Achhe din government.
