New Delhi, Jul 23 (IANS): The government on Friday said that no fixed timeline can be indicated at present for the completion of the vaccination drive.

The government said it is expected that beneficiaries aged 18 years and above will be vaccinated by December 2021.

Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Bharati Pravin Pawar in a response to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Lok Sabha MP Mala Roy's unstarred question said, "The Covid-19 vaccination is an ongoing and dynamic process, which is being guided by National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for Covid-19 (NEGVAK) on the basis of concurrent scientific evidence."

She said that in view of the dynamic and evolving nature of the Covid-19 pandemic, "no fixed timeline at present can be indicated for the completion of vaccination drive".

Pawar said, "However, it is expected that beneficiaries aged 18 years and above will be vaccinated by December 2021."

To another question by Rahul Gandhi, Pawar said, "Between August to December 2021, a total 135 crore doses of Covid-19 vaccine are expected to be available."

She added that there has been no delay in entering into purchase agreements with the domestic vaccine manufacturers. "Advance payments have also been made to manufacturers for the supply of orders placed with them," the Minister said.

Pawar said, "A total of Rs 9,725.15 crore have been spent so far on the Covid-19 vaccination programme including procurement of vaccines and operational cost for vaccines."

    Better deduct the number of informed vaccine choice people who doesn't want these unproven experimental vaccines, if they do then they can reach the target soon by deducting all the awakened people who doesn't want these unproven toxic vaccines to be injected into their bodies as they have fundamental right to refuse any medicines or vaccines. Tomorrow all over the world Awakened Movement of people are carrying out peaceful protests to uphold freedom of people and to expose the pandemic hoax by evil globalists. Indian cities too will have token protests in support of these world wide protests. The tide is turning against evil people and soon we can have our Old Normal back, then the whole world will have seasonal common cold and fever infections requiring no lockdowns and authoritarian enforcement of any mandates including forced vaccinations.

    If we believe the Cowin site we will have to be without vaccination. Although my second dose of vaccination was due today, I was watching this availability of the vaccinations Paid as well as Free on the site. I can see Paid vaccinations were available in my Pin 560062 (you can also check from tomorrow) but free vacciantions were 4 or nil. Today I went to a nearby phc and got the vaccine for free. If believe in Cowin.Gov.in.....we have to pay rs 780 for covishield or rs1400 or odd for Covaxin. My question to this site developer is , is it developed for the benefit of common people or to promote private hospitals....!!!!!???????
