The Centre will make two crore Covid-19 vaccine doses available to the states and Union territories this month. Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya confirms the statement for the availability of vaccines on Wednesday. 

Union health and family welfare minister assures that government would provide two crore doses of vaccines against the coronavirus disease to the states this month. Taking to Twitter, Mandaviya said the vaccines are in addition to the Centre's existing scheme of providing monthly doses to the states and Union territories.

 

The health minister also advised the states to get all the school teachers vaccinated on priority before September 5. India celebrates Teachers' Day on Sept 5 and so the government wants that the good work of getting educational staff vaccinated must be completed. The government decided to shut schools across the country in March last year ahead of a nationwide lockdown to contain the spread of Covid-19, classrooms shifted to virtual space. While some states partially reopened schools for students of senior classes in a staggered manner. However, with Covid-19 cases going down, some states have begun resuming physical classrooms now even as concerns over vaccination against the virus.
