Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday while virtually addressing an all-party meeting on COVID-19 situation, said Coronavirus vaccines are expected to be ready in the next few weeks and the government will start vaccinating Indians as soon as the scientists give a nod and declared that healthcare workers involved in treating coronavirus patients, frontline workers and old people suffering from serious conditions would be inoculated on priority. Modi added that the Indian scientists are confident with the work in vaccine development against the novel Coronavirus. Nearly eight vaccines are at different stages of trial like Bharat Biotech-ICMR, Oxford-AstraZeneca, Zydus Cadila, Biological E and Dr Reddy’s with their manufacturing assured in India, Modi said. Three vaccines from India are also at different stages of the trial, he said. Modi also asserted that vaccines will also be the cheapest, hence, other countries are closely monitoring it.
Central and state government teams are working in tandem for the distribution of the vaccine against COVID-19, Modi said.
In his remarks, Modi also said, "We must make sure rumours are not spread during vaccination, rumours that are anti-national and anti-human. Thus, all political parties must make sure that we save all Indians from such rumours and spread awareness."
