Hospital, therefore, can place a maximum order of 5,400 doses (90x30x2 = 5,400).
The monthly limit can be revised in the second half, based on consumption in the first 15 days.
For hospitals that plan to join the current drive inoculation and have no previous usage records, the maximum limit will be based on the number of hospital beds.
