"To say that fresh orders have not been placed by the Government of India is not correct," says the health ministry
The health and family welfare ministry has denied media reports that said it has not placed any fresh order for Covid-19 vaccines with the vaccine manufacturers. The government said news reports that suggested the last order placed with the two vaccine makers (100 million doses with SII and 20 million doses with Bharat Biotech) was only in March 2021, are "completely incorrect" and not based on facts.
