More than 72 lakh COVID-19 vaccine doses are still available with States and Union Territories, while over 46 lakh doses will be received by them within the next three days, the Union Health Ministry said on Sunday. The Government of India has so far provided more than 17.56 crore vaccine doses (17,56,20,810) to States and Union Territories free-of-cost. Of this, the total consumption, including wastages, is 16,83,78,796 doses (as per data available at 8 a.m. today). “More than 72 lakh COVID-19 vaccine doses (72,42,014) are still available with States and UTs to be administered.
