More than 1.84 crore doses still available with States/UTs: Centre
More than 1.84 crore COVID-19 vaccine doses are still available with the States and the Union Territories, while nearly 51 lakh doses are in the pipeline and will be received by them within the next three days, the Union Health Ministry said on Sunday. The Centre had so far provided more than 20 crore vaccine doses (20,28,09,250) to the States and UTs free of cost, it added. Of this, the total consumption, calculated based on an average up to May 14, including wastage, was 18,43,67,772 doses, according to the data available at 7 p.m. on Saturday. “More than 1.84 crore COVID vaccine doses [1,84,41,478] are still available with the States and UTs to be administered. States with negative balance are showing more consumption [including wastage] than vaccine supplied as they have not reconciled the vaccine they have supplied to the Armed Forces,” the Ministry said.More Related News
