No vaccine for 18-44 age group in Delhi, all vaccination centres to shut by Wednesday: Atishi

She appealed to the Centre to urgently provide more vaccine doses so that the Delhi government could keep the vaccination drive for 18+ going.

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party MLA Atishi on Tuesday (June 15) said that there is an acute shortage of COVID-19 vaccines in Delhi, due to which all vaccination centres meant for people in the 18-44 age group will be shut by Wednesday. She said half of the vaccination centres were closed on Tuesday as less than a day's stock of vaccine was left with the government. “As the unlock is slowing happening and offices and markets are reopening, the youth segment will venture out more, and therefore, it was important that they would get vaccinated. Our drive for the 18+ years category was again picking pace, but for lack of doses, it has slowed down again,” Atishi was quoted as saying by PTI.
