JAIPUR: The state health department has been administered the first dose of Covid vaccine to almost 14.08 lakh individuals in the 18+ group until Monday considering launch the drive May 1. The figures translate to only two percent of the goal of crore doses since the 18-44 age group population in the country is currently about 3.5 crore. Police have blamed the vaccine firms to the slow rate of vandalism since the firms have yet to be in a position to appeal to the need of their state health division. TOI on Tuesday talked to the police to discover the reasons why the Legislation is moving at a snail’s speed and why many who’ve enrolled were unable to find a slot. “We’ve got a capability to vaccinate 7 lakh individuals each day in most types such as health employees, frontline employees, 18+, 45+ and 60 decades and over, but until date we have not received sufficient supply of vaccines. We paid cash ahead of Serum Institute of India and also to Bharat Biotech. But we’ve been receiving vaccines on alternative days and too 1.5 lakh doses or less,” explained Dr Raghuraj Singh, nodal Sciences, officer, on Tuesday. Singh added that although just 1 lakh or less vials are obtained, sending them into each and every area is a herculean undertaking. “Should we receive a great deal of nearly 7 lakh vialsour transfer mechanics and additional logistics may have small rest. But today the situation is once a car reaches Sriganganagar using 5,000 vials, we have to send a different car per day after in a different car. We’ve been asking the Serum Institute to deliver us sufficient quantity of vaccines,” he added. Even health minister Raghu Sharma was complaining of inadequate supply of vaccines. “We’ve paid cash ahead of Serum institute, however we aren’t obtaining the necessary lot. I think for 18+ class, we surely require momentum. Additionally for each other group, we want adequate vaccines”
