Need to sensitise states so that vaccination pace doesn't come down: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi stressed on the need to sensitise states so that the speed of vaccination doesn’t come down as he undertook a comprehensive review of the Covid-19 related situation in the country.

Modi said citizens should be facilitated for vaccination despite lockdowns and healthcare workers involved in vaccination must not be diverted for other duties.

"Modi was given a detailed picture on the Covid outbreak in various states and districts. He was informed about the 12 states which have more than 100,000 active cases," the government has said on Thursday.

The meeting was attended by Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Nirmala Sitharaman,
