NEW DELHI: On account of the limited supply of Covid vaccines from the Centre, the Delhi government on Thursday issued an order to reserve Covishield shots only for beneficiaries whose second dose is due, across all its vaccination centres till July 31.
And with 80 per cent of Covaxin stocks also reserved for those due for their second dose, just about 50,000 doses of vaccines are available (as of Thursday morning) for those wishing to take their first dose
According to the latest data from the Delhi government, around 72 lakh people have received at least one dose of the vaccine, whereas around 22 lakh have received both doses.
A total of over 95 lakh doses have been administered in the Capital so far. The pace of vaccination in Delhi has been intermittent — in correspondence with the intermittent supply chain. Due to the regular delays in the supply of vaccines, the pace has been disruptive.
