"...Hiding True Position": Manish Sisodia Slams Centre's Vaccine Order

The centre had written to the directors of the National Health Mission in all states and Union territories that the platform data should not be shared with any person or entity.

Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has accused the centre of attempting to hide the "true position of vaccine availability" by ordering states to keep the vaccine data being shared on Electronic Vaccine Intelligence Network (e-VIN) confidential. The e-VIN platform keeps track of vaccine stock and temperatures maintained during all the stages of storage. "Am amazed at the order of Central Govt that prevents states from sharing information regarding vaccine stocks! The Central Govt needs to focus on ensuring adequate supply of vaccine to all, rather than hiding the true position of vaccine availability, from the public," he tweeted. Earlier this month, the Union Health Ministry had written to the directors of the National Health Mission in all states and Union territories that platform data should not be shared with any entity.
