Kolkata, May 25 : Former West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee was rushed to a private hospital here on Tuesday after his oxygen level suddenly started to fall. The veteran CPI (M) leader had tested positive for Covid-19 last week.
The state government has provided private hospitals with a list of government-run Covid vaccination centres in the city where they can send recipients of Covid vaccines who have taken their first dose at their units and are awaiting the second.
A letter sent to the heads of private Covid vaccination centres on Friday had a list of 173 government-run vaccination centres.
Thousands of people who took their first Covid shot at private hospitals are calling up the hospitals every day asking when they would get their second dose.
All private hospitals stopped Covid vaccination on May 1, the day the new vaccination policy of the Centre took effect. In the new system, private hospitals have to procure vaccine doses directly from manufacturers.
