The government has decided to administer Covid-19 vaccines to all the citizens free of cost once those are procured.
As per the decision at a high-level meeting recently, the government will purchase vaccines as soon as those are out in the market and administer those to all like it does under the existing immunisation programmes, said finance ministry officials.
The finance ministry has already sought $2 billion in financial assistance from four development partners to purchase, store, transport and administer the vaccines.
