Jammu, Apr 25: Even as Union Government is all prepared to start Covid vaccine drive for the age group of 18 to 45 years, Congress-ruled states are non-committal to become part of this campaign- scheduled to start from May 1
Congress-ruled states accused the BJP led Union Government at the Centre of “hijacking vaccine stocks from manufactures” and shown their inability to become part of the next drive.
Health Ministers of Congress-ruled states namely Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, and Punjab held a virtual joint press conference along with health minister of Jharkhand, where Congress is running a coalition with Jharkhand Mukti Morch (JMM).
During the press conference health ministers of these states accused the Union Government of taking away all stocks and it was not possible for them to vaccinate all adults due to the non-availability of vaccine.
Balbir Singh Sidhu, Punjab Health Minister in the joint press conference said that Covishield supplies were not available till May 15 because the manufacturing company has already booked all doses.
T S Singh Deo, Health Minister of another Congress ruled state Chhattisgarh expressed his inability to start vaccine drive for all adults due to the non-availability of vaccines.
Echoing in a similar tone, Rajasthan Health Minister, Raghu Sharma said that the state’s participation in the next campaign was not possible because the vaccine was not available till May 15.
“How do we vaccinate adults of 18-45 years as Serum Institute has said they will not be able to provide vaccine till May 15” Rajasthan Health Minister Raghu Sharma said. |
