“The financial burden on the state for vaccination of the age cohort of 18-44 years is likely to be more than Rs 1,100 crore considering 1.57 crore eligible beneficiaries.

It will be extremely difficult to spare as much resources from the resource pool of the state which is already stressed during COVID times,” the letter mentioned.
