Vaccine wastage would be reduced from May 1, says Health Minister
Tamil Nadu on Tuesday received six lakh doses of Covishield. Health minister C. Vijayabaskar, who inspected the consignment, told reporters that the State was awaiting a consignment of five lakh doses of Covaxin. Till date, the State has received 55,85,720 doses of vaccines and 48,07,148 doses have been administered. Dr. Vijayabaskar said wastage of vaccines was inevitable as the State did not want to deny anyone who wanted a dose. Besides, awareness about vaccination was low and there were also rumours being floated about the vaccines, he said.More Related News
