Madhya Pradesh, which the centre said has a vaccine wastage rate of 10.7 percent, has indicated there could be issues with the data or a communication gap with the Health Ministry.
Madhya Pradesh has joined other states in disputing the centre`s data on COVID-19 vaccine wastage. Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, where the BJP is not in power, have already rejected the centre`s data that shows high vaccine wastage in these two states.
Madhya Pradesh, which the centre said has a vaccine wastage rate of 10.7 per cent, has indicated there could be issues with the data or a communication gap with the Health Ministry.
Madhya Pradesh Medical Education Minister Vishwas Sarang told reporters he has asked officials in the state to contact their central counterparts and revisit the data for fixing discrepancies.
"According to our calculation, the vaccine wastage is 1.3 per cent. The centre`s figure for Madhya Pradesh is quite high. It is possible the actual figures from our end couldn`t be communicated properly to the centre. I have asked our officials to get in touch with officials at the Health Ministry and get the figures corrected," Mr Sarang told reporters.
