Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday said Covaxin\u2019s maker Bharat Biotech has refused to supply the required vaccine doses to Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a press conference, Sisodia said that as stock of Covaxin has finished in Delhi, the state government had asked for a total 1.34 crore doses of two Covid vaccines,67 lakhs each of Covaxin and Covishield to vaccinate those between 18 and 44. However, Bharat Biotech has informed the government of its inability to supply the said doses as it is making dispatches as per directives of concerned government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bharat Biotech in a letter has clearly mentioned about unavailability of the vaccines, They said they cannot provide the Delhi government with more than what the official authority i.e Centre has said. They said that the Centre will decide who will get how much vaccine, Sisodia said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hitting out at Centre, Sisodia also tweeted, vaccine mismanagement by Centre Gov- Covaxin refuses to supply vaccine citing directives of Gov. & limited availability. Once again I would say exporting 6.6cr doses was biggest mistake. We are forced to shutdown 100 covaxin-vaccination sites in 17 schools due to no supply, he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
