Twelve crore vaccine doses have been assigned to states and Union Territories for July, the government told the Supreme Court in an affidavit on Saturday.
The government's latest numbers on Covid vaccine supply for July, suggest it may fall short of its daily vaccination targets. Twelve crore vaccine doses have been assigned to states and Union Territories for July, the government told the Supreme Court in an affidavit on Saturday. These include 10 crore doses of Serum Institute of India's Covishield and two crore doses of Bharat Biotech's Covaxin. This means less than 40 lakh doses a day, which is significantly lower than the target of about 1 crore doses. The Centre's statement raises questions about the country meeting vaccine targets in order to avoid a third wave of Covid. June had seen an uptick in vaccination rates in the country. Between June 1 and June 27, about 10.8 crore doses were administered in India, at a daily average of about 40 lakh doses a day. The pace of vaccination may not pick up significantly next month.
