Maharashtra CM calls for increased supplies of vaccines, medicines
The supply of vaccines from the Centre to Maharashtra was “very slow”, said Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday, reiterating the State’s demand for increased vaccine doses. Mr. Thackeray, speaking during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s meeting with Chief Ministers of the worst-hit pandemic States, cited the example of countries such as Israel and the United Kingdom which had succeeded in controlling the virus with their large-scale vaccination drives. Gunning for increased supplies of vaccines and medicines, Mr. Thackeray further said that while the value of Remdesivir in absolutely curing COVID-19 patients might be questionable, Maharashtra would nevertheless need to have adequate stocks at all times as the anti-viral drug would at least help in reducing the duration of the patient’s time inside the hospitalMore Related News
