Jamshedpur/Bokaro: Most of the big vaccination centres across the Steel City were shut on Thursday as their vaccine stocks ran dry even as fresh cases in the district witnessed a rapid surge. In Bokaro, the district authorities stopped the drive after it ran out of vaccine stock.
As the centres remained shut in Jamshedpur, many beneficiaries, including senior citizens, were seen standing outside the hot sun to enquire about the fresh stocks and their turn to get the jabs. On the vaccine shortage, a senior official of the district health department, Dr Sahir Paul, said, We have placed orders for the vaccine and there is no way now other than waiting for the supply from the state headquarters.
