‘The western State, however, has a lower population’ Gujarat, whose population is lower than Tamil Nadu’s, has received 10% more vaccines, Minister for Medical and Family Welfare Ma. Subramanian said on Monday. “We have been emphasising that this is not the appropriate time for a blame game. And yet, there is an element of truth in it. Gujarat that has a population of 6.37 crore has been allocated 16.4% vaccines, while Tamil Nadu, which has a population of 8.38 crore, has been allocated just 6.4%. This is the difference in vaccine allocation between the two States, with Gujarat getting 10% more vaccines than Tamil Nadu,” he said, answering a question whether the Centre’s vaccine allocation was biased.
