Explaining the availability of the Russian COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V in the country, the sources added that around 60 lakh Sputnik V doses will be delivered in May
The Centre has expressed optimism that a swift scale-up of COVID-19 vaccine availability from June should ensure that the current crunch, particularly for the 18-44 age group, ends by July.
