In this exclusive interview, we speak to Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi about the vaccine shortage in Maharashtra.

In her letter to Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Priyanka Chaturvedi said that the vaccine is the basic right of every Indian especially those who are working, and yet are being forced to stay home as they can get infected and unknowingly spread covid to others in the family.


In her letter she said, “It was quite shocking to hear about the distinction being made between 'need' and 'want" for vaccines in India as requested by Chief Ministers from various states of India. Many countries around the world have begun mass vaccination for all adults on a war footing to ensure maximum coverage. India has a large population in the age group of 18-45 that needs the vaccine beyond its want. Nobody wants to be in a dilemma of staying home or catching COVID while out of home and hence the need may be termed as a want."

She also urged to review the stance of the ministry and make the vaccine universally available to those below 45, at least till the age of 18, so that they can be vaccinated and resume working safely.

Earlier, Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged him to further lower the age group eligible for vaccination to 25-years-old.
