The Hindu
The Chief Minister said that Jharkhand got barely 40 lakh doses of vaccines against a requirement of 4 crore doses, leading to the shortage.
Hitting out at the Centre, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren said on Monday that the State was facing a severe shortage of COVID vaccines and has barely two-three days of shots left in its stock. Chairing a cabinet meeting, Mr Soren said the Centre failed to alert States and take necessary measures even as it had prior knowledge of the second wave of the pandemic. "Government of India knew about the (second wave of the) infection but there was much delay in directions to the States and ultimately the entire country was impacted by it," he said.More Related News
