Delhi government has sounded out an SOS to the Centre on the Covid vaccine stocks front. Satyendra Jain, the State Health Minister, said that vaccine stocks are running out and that the city had only a day’s stock in respect of Covaxin and 2-3 days for Covishield. This is for those in the 18-44 years age group.
“We have an extreme shortage of vaccines in Delhi. For COVAXIN, we have stock left for only one day and for COVISHIELD, only 3-days stock is available. We really want the entire population of Delhi to be vaccinated and are conducting a mass vaccination drive”, he told reporters after visiting a 400 bed isolation and treatment centre for Covid patients in Rakabganj Gurdwara. This centre has been set up by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara management committee. Jain said that this centre has been attached with the LNJP Hospital, wherein in case a patient develops critical symptoms, he/she will be shifted to the hospital. “All support will be given and facilitated by the Delhi government for this centre in Rakabganj Gurudwara”, he added.
