The central government opened registrations for the entire adult population on April 28 to begin vaccination from April 1 in the third phase of rollout. Despite 1.33 crore sign-ins on the Co-WIN platform, many states say they do not have the stocks and cannot open vaccinations for those below the age of 45 years on the stipulated date.

The government had also allowed Serum Institute of India (Covishield) and Bharat Biotech (Covaxin) to sell 50 per cent of their new stock directly to states, private hospitals and corporates.
