Health Min Discards Claims Of Centre Availing Vaccine At Cheaper Rates

Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, via a four-page document on Twitter, has discarded the claims that the Centre was receiving the vaccine at cheaper rates than states. Calling the allegations "patently false", the minister said that the 50% quota, at the central government's pricing, is for free distribution that would be done by the states only. Besides, he also slammed political leaders allegedly involved in "needless politics" on vaccination.
