India’s immunisation drive against the coronavirus has been hit with several states complaining about shortages of vaccine doses, reported the Hindustan Times on Tuesday. In view of the scarcity, many vaccination centres in Delhi are likely to remain closed on Tuesday.
This came as the vaccination pace across the country has slowed down. An average of 62.10 lakh doses of Covid-19 vaccines were administered daily in the last week of June, the newspaper reported, citing data on CoWIN portal. The number dropped to 41.80 lakh in the first few days of July. The daily average further fell to 35 lakh between July 5 and July 11. On Monday, over 37,03,423 vaccine doses were administered, according to the 7 pm provisional report, the Union health ministry said.
In Delhi, government officials said the national capital has run out of Covishield stock and some vaccinations were likely to remain shut on Tuesday. Tagging a news report on vaccine shortage, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged on Monday that the central government gives vaccines for one or two days, and inoculation centers are then needed to be closed for several days.
“Why is our country’s vaccine programme faltering even after so many days?” Sisodia asked on Twitter.
दिल्ली में वैक्सीन फिर ख़त्म हो...
