Maharashtra Public Works Department minister Ashok Chavan alleged that the Centre failed to plan the vaccination strategy for citizens above 45 years of age, which account for 20 per cent of total population. The former Maharashtra chief minister said that due to the failure to plan vaccination of this 20 per cent population, the Centre has pushed the responsibility of vaccinating people in the age group of 18 to 44 on the states.
