Officials told to ensure there is no rush at vaccination centres
Observing that completing the COVID vaccination drive would take at least six months if the State gets 1 crore vaccines a month, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy suggested to the officials to consider floating global tenders to procure enough quantities . Only 19 lakh doses of vaccine are being supplied per month now, he said in a review meeting on COVID vaccination and disease control measures at his camp office on Monday. Mr. Jagan said though the States were at liberty to directly procure vaccines from the companies, the Centre had a say in the allocations. In spite of knowing this, some politicians with vested interests were spreading misinformation, which was causing panic, he said.More Related News
