People queue up to receive a dose of a Coronavirus vaccine at a vaccination centre in Mumbai - AFP× Central Trade Unions have urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a joint letter that vaccine production must be ramped up and universal free vaccination ensured within a definite time frame.
The 10 unions also pressed for adequate supply of oxygen and other facilities in hospitals to tackle the second wave of Covid.
The new vaccine policy, which allows differential pricing, should be scrapped as it is discriminatory and pro-corporate. Public health infrastructure must be strengthened by taking measures including recruiting the necessary health personnel, they said.
