Russian vaccine Sputnik V consignment reaches India

RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev has said that currently 50 million doses will be made every month in India. After some time the company will increase production further. An agreement has been signed with 5 major vaccine manufacturers in India to produce 85 crore doses in a year. On the other hand, the Corona vaccine is being installed all over the country today i.e. from May 1 to the age of 18 years to 44 years. Meanwhile, many states have refused to start the vaccination program from today citing vaccine stock.

The central government has said contrary to these statements that, more than 1 crore doses are available in all the states, and they will get 20 lakh doses more in the next three days. The Center also informed that the government will continue to provide vaccines for people above 45 years of age. BJP-ruled states of Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Arunachal Pradesh and Karnataka, including West Bengal, Delhi, Odisha, Punjab, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, 11 other states have refused to start the vaccination program on time.
