The Maharashtra Congress on Tuesday said the COVID-19 vaccine wastage in the state was only 0.22 per cent
The Maharashtra Congress on Tuesday said the COVID-19 vaccine wastage in the state was only 0.22 percent and not six percent as claimed by Union minister Prakash Javadekar.
The Congress also said that only 23,547 vaccine doses were left in Maharashtra and asked how can the state plan vaccination of people if it does not have an adequate number of doses.
Javadekar had last month in a tweet claimed there was about six percent vaccine wastage in Maharashtra.
State Health Minister Rajesh Tope had later rejected the claim, saying it was not correct.
