HYDERABAD: Desi Covid-19 vaccine Covaxin seems to be running out of stock in its own backyard – Hyderabad. Most vaccination centres in the city, be they government or private, don’t have stock. The reason: A sudden spike in demand for the indigenously developed vaccine.
Such has been the surge in demand for the vaccine that many of those waiting in queues for a Covaxin shot, have had to return home without getting the jab, especially after the vaccination drive was opened up to everyone over 45 years of age.
Right from making frantic calls to hospitals and friends in right places to reaching out to contacts through social media, people are leaving no stone unturned to get their hands on Covaxin.
