Vaccine shortage- There are complaints of a shortage of Covid vaccine in many cities across the country. As a result, the pace of vaccination has slowed down. Due to the lack of vaccine, no vaccine is given anywhere in Mumbai today. Here, the vaccination campaign must be stopped. However, people were not aware, because of which the line of people has been seen at the vaccination center since morning.
The vaccination campaign started from January 16 across the country. On June 21, a record over 90 lakh people were vaccinated. But now the pace has slowed down. So far, around 37 crore vaccines have been vaccinated. But only 40 lakh people were vaccinated on Friday. Where vaccination had hit the 90 lakh mark, it has now fallen to less than half. One of the reasons for this would also be the lack of vaccine in the country. (Vaccine shortage)
