New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaking to the nation on the 100 million covid vaccination mark exceeded: “This achievement reflects the image of New India and 100 million vaccinations are simply not a number, but a reflection of capacity This is a new chapter in the country, a country that knows how to achieve great goals. “

PM praised the efforts of health workers and the entire population of 130 million people who have come together to contribute to the success of India’s vaccination campaign, noting that the speed at which India ran the mass vaccination campaign and exceeded 100 million vaccinations is appreciated worldwide.

“Our entire vaccine program is a result of technology. It’s science-based, science-driven, and science-based. Science and a scientific approach are at the center. With new scientific methods and innovations, the country was able to find solutions to its production and distribution problems. “Said Modi.

He went on to add that India is in large part dependent on developed countries for vaccine technology and development, which further raised questions about India’s ability to fight the pandemic. With this performance of 100 crore vaccines, India as a nation has answered all of its critics’ questions and further strengthened India’s position as a pharmaceutical hub for the world.

The Prime Minister also said that the “Free Vaccine and Vaccine For All” campaign carried out in the country ensured that the vaccine reached everyone without treating the poor-rich, rural-urban and everyone equally, as if the disease did not discriminate, then there can be no discrimination in vaccination. He added that the government had made sure that the VIP eligibility culture does not dominate the vaccination campaign.

With the administration of 100 crore doses, the Prime Minister noted, the people of India have also overcome the vaccine hesitation that still prevails in most developed countries. He said the government has made public participation the first line of defense in the country’s fight against the pandemic.

The growth, spread and success of the vaccination campaign are due to the scientific methods that have been used to immunize a huge population against COVID. With a technology-driven platform like CoWIN, not only has vaccination on such a large scale been made possible, but it has also made it easier to get people to the vaccines.

He concluded with a word of caution for people as the holiday season approaches and suggested that extreme caution be used in implementing all social distancing protocols and measures proposed by experts and governments to ensure the fight against COVID still going on, will soon see an end.
