Rajasthan: Stock crunch hits vaccination drive

Officials sanitise a house in city
JAIPUR: Covid vaccination remained affected due to limited availability of doses in the state. In Jaipur, only 40 government centres had vaccines. Out of those, 23 had Covaxin and 19 had Covishield.
Amid surging cases, the state government has demanded the Centre to supply 30 lakh doses of vaccines. Over the last six days (from April 7), the health department had to scale down vaccination drive due to limited availability of doses.
The number of people vaccinated on Tuesday was 1,48,138. “We have a capacity of vaccinating 7 lakh per day,” said Raghu Sharma, health minister.
According to health department officials, they are now having more than 2.3 lakh doses available, which they have to use judiciously before the state receives supply of doses from the Centre.
