Rajkot: The vaccination drive in Rajkot took a hit due to shortage of vials on Saturday.
At many vaccination sites, people had to return without taking the jab.
At some places, a message of ‘no vaccination today’ was pasted on closed gates since morning.
The primary reason for this was that the Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) got more doses of Covaxin instead of Covishiled on Friday.
According to RMC they got 2,000 doses of Covishiled in addition to the carry over stock of 300 doses for Saturday.
These 2,300 doses were used before noon and thereafter people were asked to come later.
According to RMC officials there was rush of youth for the first dose, besides those whose second dose was due.
As a result, a crowd was seen at all the vaccination sites in the city.
About 8,000-10,000 people are being vaccinated per day at RMC’s 62 vaccination sites.
RMC had stock of only 2,300 doses
