New Delhi: The slow step of vaccination in Delhi has a health specialist who is worried.
The covid-19 front level in the national capital is currently less than one percent and according to experts, it is the right time to increase vaccination to cover the maximum population that is possible because the risk of spreading infection from vaccination centers will be less.
“On Monday, we did not have a single dose of the Covid-19 vaccine available.
Even on Tuesday, we can only get around 700 vaccine doses that will be completed in two days,” a senior doctor from Lok Nayak Hospital, General Hospital The biggest run by the Delhi government, said.
Delhi has vaccinated around 90 lakh people until now; 25% of people have received a dose of vaccine while 75% have received a single dose.
Delhi became a national capital should be a role model in vaccinating the entire population but it did not happen, said Dr.
Sam Sarin, Director of the Institute of Heart and Biliary.
“The availability of vaccines is the main obstacle for this.
We need to find a way to achieve 100% vaccination.
This will send positive messages throughout the country,” he said.
Dhruv Tiway, which is bound by a wheelchair, he said to go throughout the Indian Medical Institute for vaccination last week.
“I tried to order an appointment through the Cowin application but couldn’t.
Then, I thought of walking-in to get the first jab.
However, to surprise me, the hospital said they did not manage the first dose of Covaxin to people in the 18-44 age group year, “said the 35-year-old player.
“How we will fight a pandemic when we don’t have a vaccine easily even for disabled people and it’s also at the country’s Premier Medical Institute.
The government must see this,” Tiwary added.
The decision to allow Covaxin – one of the Covid-19 vaccines available in Delhi – only to those who received the first dose was taken by the state government because it did not have enough shares available in June the first week.
Dr.
Vinay Aggarwal, who owns a private hospital in Delhi Timur, said they got permission to manage Covaxin’s first dose last week after continuous follow-up with local authorities.
“On Tuesday, we gave 160 covaxin doses at our vaccination center.
From them, only about 25 second doses,” he added.
