As Maharashtra's Covid-19 cases rose again to about 50,000 a day for the second time in three days, with the total tally crossing 31 lakh, Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has demanded vaccination for those above 18 years of age. She has written a letter to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan in this regard.

In her letter she said that the government should make vaccine accessible to all above 18 years. "I urge you to review this stance of the ministry and make the vaccine universally available to those below the age of 45 at least to the age of 18 , so that they can be vaccinated and resume working safely," Chaturvedi wrote in the letter.
