PM Modi appreciated the enthusiasm that people are showing to get vaccinated.

She also urges that I should discuss in Maan ki Baat the enthusiasm visible in the elderly of the household regarding the vaccine.”
PM Modi also said that elder people are more excited to get vaccinated and we are seeing many such pictures from all corners of the country that touch our hearts. He gave some examples- “Ram Dulaiya ji who is 109 year old from Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh has taken the vaccine. Similarly, 107 years old Kewal Krishna ji in Delhi has taken the dose of the vaccine. 100 years old Jai Chaudhary from Hyderabad has also taken the vaccine and it’s an appeal to all to take the vaccine.”
PM Modi further added, “I am also observing on Twitter and Facebook how after getting the vaccine for the elderly of their homes people are uploading the picture. A youth Anandan Nair from Kerala in fact has given a new term to this ‘Vaccine Service’.”
