The government will ensure that the covid-19 vaccine , whenever available, reaches each and every Indian as soon as possible, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday. Modi said in a televised address to the nation that as people work on a war-footing the world over to save humanity from covid-19, India, too, is actively engaged in vaccine development. He said Indian scientists are in the process of developing several vaccines that are at different stages of clinical trials and the results seem encouraging. Modi cautioned the nation that until there is a vaccine for covid-19, the guard against the disease shouldn’t be lowered. The situation has improved, and we should not let the situation deteriorate," Modi said.
