Bhubaneswar: Odisha has been cloudy in the country in terms of limiting the waste of vaccines.
The country has so far saved 12.2 lakh doses and thus registered -5.5 percent of abuse.
This means the country provides 105 doses and saves five for every 100 doses allocated.
The country until Wednesday gives 2.45 crore doses, which includes 12.2 lakh doses stored.
The entire capital population can be vaccinated with at least the first jab with a dose stored.
Bijay Panigrahi, Director, Health and Family Welfare, said: “The dose of 12.2 lakh includes the total dosage given so far in the state, but we bring them as an additional dose because they have been saved.” “Ideally, a bottle of vaccine is intended for 10 beneficiaries, but can be stretched to 11, while 10 bottles can be used up to 110 doses.
In Odisha, it is 105 because we can save the dose in a few bottles.
So the waste -5.5 percent.
Our vaccination per 10 bottles are somewhere around 98 or 99, it will be in vain, “Panigrahi added.
The percentage of the waste of the neighboring Chhattisgarh vaccine is -9.
While Odisha until Tuesday reached 58 percent coverage of the first dose, seven districts had coverage of less than 50 percent.
The district with the second dose coverage of less than 60 percent of the maturity target is Malkangiri (50 percent), Nabarangpur (55 percent), Boudh (57 percent) and Kandhamal (58 percent).
Nine districts have not crossed a 1-lakh sign in terms of giving the second dose.
On Wednesday, 2.16 Lakh doses were given at 1,360 vaccination centers, taking the total number of first doses to 1.84.86718 and the second became 60.67.292.
The country on Wednesday reported 762 new infections against 754 recovery, carrying the number of active cases fell to 6,853, which was 1.78 percent of the Casulative Caseload active countries so far.
The death toll at Odisha stood at 8,070.
Except Boudh, all 29 districts report new Covid-19 cases, with Khurda and Cuttack each reported a three-digit number.
