Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Dr Bharati Pravin Pawar on September 13 said that it's a very happy occasion for us as we completed 75 crore vaccinations in the country and this number is a valuable contribution to India's 75th independence day. “When Covid struck, PM Modi allotted a budget of Rs 35,000 crore for the production of vaccines. I congratulate all scientists, doctors and health workers. Record vaccine production and distribution is being witnessed in India,” she said.
