Vaccine out of stock: No vaccination in Silchar on Thursdayবৃহস্পতিবারও শিলচরে কোনও কেন্দ্রে টিকা নেই
July 21: There seems to be great disparity between the demand and supply of Covid-19 vaccine in Assam. Off and on, people are seem to wait in long queues in the hope of getting the jab, but at the end of the day many have to return without getting vaccinated due to the paucity in supply of the vaccines. Though Assam received 5 lakh plus doses of Covishield on Tuesday, yet those were yet to be distributed to the distrcts.
As such, several districts in the state have run out of their stock of Covid-19 vaccines. Informing this, Urban Welfare Officer, Silchar, Dr Rima Patao informed on Wednesday that there will not be any vaccination drive in Silchar on 22 July. She further added that the process of administering vaccines will resume after stocks are made available.
