PM Narendra Modi was delivering his seventh consecutive Independence Day speech from the iconic Red Fort said three coronavirus vaccines are at different stages of trials and a roadmap is ready for production and distribution to every Indian in his Independence Day address today.

PM Modi also announced that a National Digital Health Mission would be announced soon, in which every citizen would get a health ID.

"Today in India, not one, or two, but three vaccines are in the stage of testing. As soon as there is a green signal from scientists, the country is prepared to produce it in large numbers. How the vaccine will reach every Indian in the least amount of time - we have a roadmap ready for that," the Prime Minister said.

On the National Digital Health Mission, PM Modi said: "Every Indian will get a Health ID card. Every time you visit a doctor or a pharmacy, everything will be logged in this health card in your profile on a national scale. From the doctor`s appointment to the medication advised, everything will be available in your health profile."
