I think it's a very relevant question you ask here. The vaccinations given by the government are on a tight budget the expenses for varicella and pneumonia PCV are very high. In the Western world where the government pays for everything and money is lesser of an issue , thesevaccines are mandatory. The central government here in India is also planning to provide these vaccines over the period of next few months as they realise the importance of saving lives and avoiding hospitalizations by giving these vaccinations. The Hib and IPV vaccinations introduced over the last 2 years were amongst those only available in the private sector until then.
