With government hospitals in Punjab failing to kick-start the COVID-19 inoculation programme for the 18-44 age group due to non-availability of vaccine doses, Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday directed the Health Department to explore all options to augment supply of vaccines to the State.
Though the State government had made a payment of ₹10.37 crore to the Serum Institute of India (SII) for the procurement of around 30 lakh doses of the Covishield vaccine on April 26, it was yet to receive any supply schedule from the company, Health Secretary Hussan Lal informed the Cabinet during a virtual meeting.
