By Sanjay Maurya

Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday (July 13) announced free COVID-19 precaution doses for the age group of 18-59 at government vaccine centers as part of a 75-day special drive starting today (July 15). Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said that to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence, a free booster dose campaign will be run for the next 75 days under the government’s Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and the prevention of Covid will be promoted. The minister said that this will shield all adults against the virus.


The government’s plan to provide free COVID-19 precaution doses to all adults over the age of 18 will increase vaccination numbers in India and lead to a healthier nation, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.


Responding to a query, Mandaviya said people would have to pay if they visit a private facility to get the precaution dose. Noting that some had raised doubts over the efficacy of indigenously developed vaccines, he said a booster dose is needed for everyone, and “no one has to pay for it.” He did not share details on how much the exercise would cost the government. Mandaviya thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this decision. “I urge all those eligible to get their precaution dose at the earliest,” the health minister
