After Centre's announcement that the second phase of coronavirus vaccine inoculation will begin on March 1, Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that he hoped most ministers will pay for their jabs. The central government roped in 20,000 private hospitals for the next round of covid-19 vaccination programme. "While the vaccine will be given for free at government centres, it will be available for a charge, to be decided later, at many private hospitals," Prakash Javadekar said on Wednesday.
