As Phase 3 of the Covid-19 vaccination programme for people above 18 years got underway on Saturday, just a handful of states were able to deliver jabs under the new category due to shortage of supplies. While Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir among a few other states and Union territories launched the vaccination drive, Karnataka and Odisha made only a symbolic start. Blaming organisations authorised by the Centre for not making vaccines available, the Jharkhand government said it will announce fresh dates for the jabs once supplies reach the state. Around 84,599 beneficiaries in the 18-44 age group received their first dose on Saturday.
