Coronavirus: Here's why many states are not ready for big 18-plus vaccine drive

While India continues to combat coronavurus, many states have complained about shortage of Covid vaccine. Odisha is facing acute shortage of Covishield vaccines forcing people to wait for second dose of the jab for a week time, official sources said Thursday.

While, the Delhi government decided to procure 67 lakh doses of Covishield vaccine, three lakh of which will be delivered by May 3, after its Health Minister Satyendar Jain said on Thursday the city currently doesn't have vaccines for the 18-45 age group whose immunisation is set to start on Saturday.
