Many states have flagged the shortage of Covid vaccines.
States are yet again complaining of a shortage of Covid vaccines, even as the Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said under the new centralised vaccine policy, the states were informed in advance of their future vaccine supplies.
“If there are issues in states, it shows that they need to better plan their vaccination drives. Intra-state planning & logistics are the responsibility of the states. I request these leaders to desist from their shameless urge to play politics even in the midst of a pandemic, the Health Minister tweeted.
The health minister tweeted, Stating facts below so people can judge intentions of these leaders After GoI provided 75% of vaccines available for free, vaccination speed picked up & 11.50 cr doses were given in June”

New Delhi:
Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan lashed out at Rahul Gandhi on Friday after the Congress MP questioned the centre (again) over the lack of Covid vaccine doses.
Declaring he had tweeted yesterday on supply for July, Dr Vardhan attacked Mr Gandhi for not reading and sidestepped any further discussion on vaccination by accusing him of arrogance . Just yesterday, I put out facts on vaccine availability for the month of July. What is Rahul Gandhiji s problem? Does he not read? Does he not understand? There is no vaccine for the virus of arrogance and ignorance!! Congress must think of a leadership overhaul! Dr Vardhan said.
