PUNE: The controlled release of vaccine doses by the Centre will slow down the Covid vaccination drive in Maharashtra, health officials have said.
The state now aims to cover an estimated one crore citizens who are part of the new phase, those aged 60 and above and people over 45 with comorbidities. This group is being covered simultaneously, along with healthcare and frontline workers.
But the state currently has only 44.74 lakh doses of both Covishield and Covaxin.
Dr Subhash Salunke, the state technical expert on Covid, said for the vaccination drive to be scaled up across government and private hospitals, supply of doses must be streamlined.
