As soon as we get the required stock, we will resume, says CM
NEW DELHI: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday announced that the COVID-19 vaccination drive for youth in the city will be halted due to lack of adequate doses. Terming it a peculiar situation, Mr. Kejriwal said the drive was being halted for the youth at a time when there was evidence that the second wave of the Coronavirus had affected them the most. “I’m saddened that it had to come to this; we have written to the Centre about this; as soon as we get the required stock, we will start these again. Delhi needs 80 lakh vaccine doses every month,” Mr. Kejriwal told a digital briefing.
