HYDERABAD/AMARAVATI: Hit by shortage of Covid-19 vaccine, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh may not be able to start the mass immunisation for those aged between 18 and 44 from May 1, official sources in both the states said on Thursday.
A senior official of Telangana health department said though the state government is in touch with vaccine manufacturers, there is no certainty on when the stocks would be available for the mass vaccination.
"There are no possibilities (of vaccination). We are in the process of getting a vaccine where there is no vaccine available in the country. We are in touch with the manufacturers also," Telangana Public Health Director G Srinivasa Rao told PTI.
