The health ministry shared a 49 second video clip and Dr NK Arora, chair, Operations Research Group, National Task Force ICMR Delhi and advisor to national AEFI committee stated, “ There has been no shortage of Covid-19 vaccines in our country till date and there is no possibility of the shortage in future too.”
Arora mentioned the Co-WIN portal assures that no state experiences any shortage of vaccine supply. He stated that Co-WIN works not just for the welfare of the beneficiaries but also managing supply associated operations such as vaccine shortage.
With the video, the ministry stated, “Conversations are rife with rumours about shortage of Covid-19 vaccines in India. Watch this video to clarify your doubts, and put an end to such rumour-mongering.”
