It is only because vaccination is a public good and the most cost effective way of reducing mortality and morbidity due to infectious diseases, that all Western countries are vaccinating their populations free of cost. These countries are not socialists and are market driven, like the US. They are doing so even when a majority of their populations have enough per capita incomes to afford a $20 shot. If that is so, why does our leadership in India think otherwise?
