New Delhi: Several government-run vaccination centres in Delhi will be shut on Tuesday because the city has exhausted its Covishield COVID-19 vaccine stock.
Only 36,310 vaccine doses could be administered in Delhi till 10 pm on Monday as opposed to around 1.5 lakh of daily vaccine doses being administered on an average earlier.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Monday (July 12, 2021) hit out at the Centre regarding the same.
Sharing a newspaper click, Sisodia raised the issue of shortage of COVID-19 vaccines in the city and said, “Vaccines have run out in Delhi again. The central government gives vaccines for a day or two, then we have to keep the vaccine centres closed for several days.”
“Why is our country’s vaccine programme faltering even after so many days?” he asked.
