Covishield stock limited, slots for 2nd dose only: Delhi government’s vax bulletin

NEW DELHI: With the supply of Covishield being limited, both online booking and walk-in vaccination slots in government vaccination centres will be reserved for second doses till July 31, 2021.

“The vaccination for the 18-44 age group began on May 1 and with the completion of the 84-day interval for second dose of Covishield, many of them will now become eligible for second dose in the coming weeks,” an order issued by Delhi government’s directorate of family welfare stated.

As on Thursday morning, the balance stock of Covishield doses was 65,460 and Covaxin was 2,45,590. “Only 20% of Covaxin stocks can be used for first dose, since Covaxin stocks have irregular delivery cycles,” Delhi government’s vaccination bulletin stated.
