1.67 Lakh Fresh Covishied Doses Arrive In Delhi For 18-44 Age Group

AAP MLA Atishi said Delhi now has 2,58,000 doses of Covishield and 37,000 doses of Covaxin for the 18-44 age group.

Delhi's stock of the Covishield vaccine for the 18-44 age group has received a significant boost with the arrival of additional 1,67,320 doses on Friday. According to the government, the city now has enough doses to vaccinate the group for the next two weeks. However, Delhi's stock of Covaxin - the anti-Covid vaccine developed by Bharat Biotech - can dwindle if not replenished soon. The government says it can vaccinate the age group with Covaxin for just two days. AAP MLA Atishi said Delhi now has 2,58,000 doses of Covishield and 37,000 doses of Covaxin for the 18-44 age group. "We have seen that the speed of the vaccination drive goes up with the availability of vaccines for the 18-44 age group and goes down as soon as they are on the verge of running out of stock. Here, we are happy to share that Delhi on Friday received 1,67,000 Covishield doses for the age group," she was quoted as saying by news agency PTI on Saturday.
