Delhi has exhausted its Covishield Covid-19 vaccine stock.
On Monday, Deputy Chief Minister, Manish Sisodia said that several Government-run vaccination Centres will be closed on Tuesday because the city has exhausted its Covishield Covid-19 vaccination stock. He also tweeted that, "Vaccines have run out in Delhi again. The central Government gives vaccines for a day or two, then we have to keep the vaccine centres closed for several days. Why is our Country's vaccine programme faltering even after so many days?"
