Ernakulam facing acute shortage of vaccine
The Hindu
Stock left just for sessions on Friday
The availability of the two vaccines for COVID-19 in the district has dwindled, and stock is available only for sessions on Friday. While additional stock was initially expected to arrive on Thursday, no fresh supply was provided, and there is no clarity yet on when more doses can be expected, said Dr. M.G. Sivadas, Reproductive and Child Health Officer and nodal officer for immunisation. The district just has around 30,000 doses available for the vaccination drive on Friday, he said. On Thursday, the target was to administer around 31,000 doses, and a total of 171 vaccination sites were operational on the day, including mass vaccination centres, Dr. Sivadas said. While some private hospitals might not have been able to conduct sessions on Thursday, the vaccination sites at government facilities were all functioning, he added.
