Maharashtra: Vaccine shortage
Significantly, till now the first dose of corona vaccine has been given to 90% of the people in Maharashtra. At the same time, 62% people have been given the second dose.

The first dose of the vaccine was to be given to 60 lakh adolescents aged 15 to 18 years, but so far only 2.4 million children have been given this vaccine. At the same time, according to the information, the current stock of Covishield can last only 20 more days in the state.
