The Maharashtra government has decided to vaccinate its people in the next six months. The cost of vaccination will be Rs 6,500 crore, said state health minister Rajesh Tope on Wednesday.
He, however, said the drive beginning May 1 may not be launched that day in Maharashtra due to the unavailability of sufficient vaccine doses, though the state is committed to vaccinating people in the age group of 18 to 45 years. “There are 5.71 crore people in the 18-45 age group in the state. They will be vaccinated free of cost, leading to an additional financial obligation of Rs 6,500 crore on the state exchequer,” said Tope.
