Private hospitals may not be able to participate in child vaccination programme immediately
Private hospitals in Karnataka — who were eagerly waiting for the rollout of paediatric vaccinations to ensure that their huge stocks of Covaxin get utilised — are now apprehensive that they may not be able to participate in the vaccination programme immediately. This is mainly because they are finding it difficult to get the nearly six lakh doses that have crossed their expiry date relabelled from Bharat Biotech, the manufacturer.
Following the Centre’s directions, the State Government has told private hospitals that vaccines, including COVID-19 vaccine, should not be utilised beyond the expiry date mentioned on the label of each vial.
