‘Very low’ Covaxin stock, meagre supply of doses likely to hit inoculation: Bengal official
The Hindu
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has urged the central government to allot at least three crore vaccine doses to the state.
A “very low” stock of Covaxin and a meagre supply of the vaccines are going to badly affect the ongoing inoculation process in West Bengal, a senior health department official said on Saturday. The state was supposed to get 75 lakh of vaccine doses this month and received 54 lakh till Friday, he said. “The Covaxin stock in our state is very low. We have only one lakh and some small quantity in the hands of the districts. We were supposed to receive two tranches of a total of 2.55 lakh Covaxin which were not delivered as per schedule,” the official said.
