Ms Banerjee further urged the Prime Minister to "speedily import vaccines" to match the massive demand in the country.
The vaccine production, supply, and distribution in the country is "extremely inadequate" and "insignificant", spotlighted West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in a letter, her third in two weeks, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Ms Banerjee further urged the Prime Minister to "speedily import vaccines" to match the massive demand in the country. The national vaccine campaign has been spluttering as several states have had to pause or delay the latest phase of vaccinations, covering adults below 45, because of the shortage of vaccines. "It seems, however, that the production (and hence, the supply and distribution) of vaccines in the country is extremely inadequate, and insignificant in the context of the massive needs of the people at large," wrote Mamata Banerjee.
