Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray will soon make a decision over whether the state government will allow the vaccine against coronavirus disease (Covid-19) to be administered free of cost to all residents above the age of 18 under the third phase of the vaccination drive from May 1, deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar said.
He said that only those beneficiaries who can afford the vaccine dose should pay for it, while the state government will pay on behalf of the poorer sections.
