GUWAHATI/SHILLONG: Erratic supply of vaccines has slowed down the pace of immunisation to the extent that if the third wave were to hit the state in August, about 50% of Assam s adult population would be vulnerable as they have not been fully vaccinated.
Amid third wave concerns, the Meghalaya government upped its vaccination drive by roping in community and religious leaders in the hill state to overcome hesitancy. Tripura is in a better position because it has the highest vaccination record of its targeted population. Assam being the gateway to the northeast, the shortage of vaccines has become a matter of concern.
