Allow COVID-19 vaccination for all above 25 years in Maharashtra: CM Thackeray to PM Modi
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray wrote to PM Narendra Modi on April 5 requesting him to allow COVID-19 vaccination of all people above the age of 25 years in Maharashtra. A copy of the letter was shared on Chief Minister’s official Twitter account.
CM Thackeray reasoned in the letter that the move will benefit Maharashtra thereby reducing the severity of COVID-19 among young and working population. He wrote: I request you to lower it to 25, as the states facing the surge are having to place curbs to safeguard lives of the population. However, if a larger number of our young and working population is vaccinated, the intensity of the cases would be much lower than the treatment that they need today.
CM Thackeray also stressed that Maharashtra has remained at the forefront of the vaccination drive by administering the most doses. He wrote: Maharashtra has taken Covid-19 vaccination very seriously and we are the number one state in the country in terms of total number of Covid vaccine doses administered.”
