Budget FY 2021-22: Health Infra To See Boost, ₹25-30 Cr Set Aside For Covid-19 Vaccination
Millennium Post Delhi|Delhi 01 March 2021
NEW DELHI: As the Covid-19 vaccination starts reaching the general public and with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal having promised to provide vaccines to Delhiites free of cost, the Delhi government is set to significantly increase its healthcare allocation, with at least Rs 25 crore to Rs 30 crore set aside just for the vaccination programme, in the next Budget (FY 2021-2022), which is expected to be presented by the state's Finance Minister by March 10.

Budget FY 2021-22: Health Infra To See Boost, ₹25-30 Cr Set Aside For Covid-19 Vaccination

“The government is considering putting a cap on the rates at private facilities while at government facilities it will be at free of cost,” one senior official said. CM Arvind Kejriwal and Health Minister Satyendra Jain had both promised free vaccines on several occasions while talking to the media and had also said that the AAP-government would provide free vaccines even if the Central government does not.

However, given that vaccination has already started for the general public, the Centre has capped private hospital Covid19 vaccine charges at Rs 250 and made it free at all of its government facilities.
