Chennai: Covid-19 vaccination process which hit a roadblock in Tamilnadu due to lack of stock has gained momentum once again thanks to arrival of fresh doses.
A total of 6,16,660 doses of Covid-19 vaccines arrived in Chennai on Tuesday. They have been dispersed to all districts, officials said and added the orders for them were placed in May.
Vinay Kumar, Joint Director (immunisation), Directorate of public health and preventive medicine, said, “We are expecting additional supply on Wednesday and Thursday.”
Meanwhile, reports claimed that states such as Tamilnadu, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar continue to experience a crunch in their vaccine supply, while states such as Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat are enjoying a relatively better stock position.
