Maharashtra government has alleged that cornavirus vaccines are not being supplied as per requirement in Maharashtra. Vaccination has been stopped in Mumbai due to non-availability of vaccine in many places. Meanwhile, vaccines are not available in many centres in Mumbai.
Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar on Friday said that there is enough stock of vaccines available in Mumbai for one day. She said this while interacting with the media.
Pednekar said," There are several vaccination centers that have zero vaccines now and vaccination has stopped there...I have come to know that some 76,000 to 1 Lakh doses are about to reach Mumbai by today but I don't have any official information on this."
She further targeted the Centre over shortage of vaccine and said,"PM is serious and proactive about our issues but it seems that the people under PM are not taking this issue with the same seriousness".
Amid surging COVID-19 infections, the state government has requested the Centre to give instruction to concerned authorities to increase vaccine doses for Maharashtra.
As many as 56,286 new COVID cases and 376 deaths were reported in Maharashtra in the last 24 hours, the state health department informed on Thursday.
With this, the total positive cases now stands at 32,29,547, including 5,21,317 active cases, 26,49,757 recoveries and 57,028 deaths.
