Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched the much-awaited vaccination drive in India. Dubbed as the world's largest inoculation drive, India's vaccination program is aimed at inoculating millions of its healthcare and frontline workers and reach an estimated 3 crore people by the end of its first phase, in a country in which over a crore people have been afflicted by the deadly virus and over 1.50 lakh people succumbed to the pathogen.

During his inaugural address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the entire country was waiting for the coronavirus vaccine and asking when the vaccine will be available. The PM said, "the vaccine is available now, I congratulate the country on this occasion".

"Everyone was asking as to when the vaccine will be available. It is available now. I congratulate all the countrymen on this occasion", PM Modi said during his inaugural address on the day 1 of India's coronavirus vaccination drive.

He further said that preparing a vaccine in such a short span of time is difficult but the intent showed by the Indian developers and manufacturers in preparing the vaccine against the deadly virus deserves applause from the entire nation.

"Normally, it takes many years to make a vaccine but in such a short span of time, not one, but two 'Made in India' vaccines are ready. Meanwhile, the work on other vaccines is progressing at a fast pace", PM Modi said.
