Centre’s vaccination campaign is name-sake, only for advertisements and announcements: Atishi

The AAP MLA, Atishi, said the Centre failed even when they decentralised and asked the states to procure vaccines but refused to deliver, and now too when they have centralised the campaign.

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party’s senior leader and MLA Atishi said that the vaccination drive is a joke for the Central government; how can we launch a universal campaign without sufficient vaccines? Delhi has received not even a single extra dose despite the universal campaign being launched from Monday. In a ‘Vaccination Bulletin’ through a video address on Monday, she said the Centre failed even when they decentralised and asked the states to procure vaccines but refused to deliver, and now too when they have centralised the campaign. Atishi said, "Centre’s vaccination campaign is only for advertisements and announcements, the reality is that Delhi has not been supplied even a single dose today (Monday, June 21), when a universal campaign was supposed to be launched. Centre will be making merely 15,19,000 doses available in July. At this speed, Delhi will take more than 13 months to vaccinate its population."
