    Bihar to offer free COVID-19 vaccines, even at private hospitals
  • Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said that COVID-19 vaccines across the state will be free of cost.

    This benefit will also be extended to those who get vaccinated at private health facilities.

    The announcement comes on the day India started the second phase of its nationwide vaccination drive to vaccinate people aged above 60 years and those over 45 with co-morbidities.

    Before last year's state Assembly elections in November, the Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) had promised free vaccinations across the state if they were elected to power—an announcement that was criticized by the Opposition.
