Nagpur: Last week, Covid vaccination slowed in the Gondia and almost stopped on Monday.
The crisis was not due to lack of dosage, which has become quite ordinary after the government allows vaccinations of beneficiaries that are more eligible throughout the state.
District health officials have run out of syringes that are disproportionate with the number of doses of the gondia have received over the past few weeks.
While the vaccination drive collects speed, the number of syringes is said to be almost half of the number of doses available with the district at any time.
It has forced the district to rest in certain centers or slow down the drive to receive sufficient stock of syringes, officials said.
Of the average of 7,000 vaccinations earlier this month, the figures fell to more than 600 on August 16 on August 16.
On Thursday, only 130 vaccinations were carried out compared to 15,000 and 11,000 in the previous two days.
Two civilian surgery (CS) Dr.
Amrish Mohabe and District Health Officers (DHO) Dr.
Nitin Kapse acknowledged that the number of syringes was lacking as.
Compared to doses.
However, they put aside any impact on the regency capabilities drive until Thursday.
CS and DHO said that vaccination stopped on Monday and Thursday because the staff was on leave.
However, the drive runs with steam in Bhandara, Nagpur, Wardha and other districts in the division on both days.
Date, the district has reached 7.28 lakh vaccinations with only 1.51 lakh of them compiling their second dose.
The widening gap between the first and second doses raises questions, especially when health officials claim that the district has many shares.
Mohabe said, “Because beneficiaries have increased, continuous drives.
After fewer syringes are accepted with a dose.
We carry out less vaccinations when the stock of the syringe runs out.
We have received more than 40,000 syringes from the Deputy Director of the Health Service Office (DDHS ).
Procurement is done at the DDHS level like a vaccine.
“Dho Dr.
Kapse said that the injecting needle stock was received every few days.
“We have more doses but the stock of syringes ensure we will have a buffer a few days ahead.
It is supplied as needed.
Because of fatigue, we provided new shares,” he said.
PEJADATDHS claims to have sufficient stock but they do not reveal the amount of anchors and the right dose.
