According to the minister, one lakh people will be vaccinated daily in the capital
Delhi Health Minister Satyender Jain asserted that the vaccination for COVID-19 will be provided for free in the national capital.
The health minister inspected the dry run for COVID-19 vaccination drive, which was being conducted at three centres in Delhi such as GTB Hospital, Daryagunj dispensary and Venkateshwar Hospital.
Briefing the media, Jain said, “All the arrangements have been made and we will make 1,000 COVID vaccination centres in Delhi. I believe we will be able to vaccinate 1 lakh people in a day. We have made monitoring stations for every centre.”
When asked whether the vaccination will be free of cost, Jain clarified, “Yes, it will be free. Medicines and treatment are provided for free in Delhi, anyway.”
Health minister said about 51 lakh people comprising the three priority groups will be vaccinated in the first phase. “I am examining dry runs for three types of setups including government hospital, government dispensary and private hospital. All the inoculated people will be kept under 30 minutes of observation,” added Jain.
