COVID-19 India News: Bengal Vaccination Drive Moving At Snail's Pace Due To Irregular Supply By Centre: Official

Contending that the Centre's "irregular" supply of COVID-19 vaccines has slowed down the inoculation drive in West Bengal, a senior health department official on Monday said that the state government was finding it difficult to evenly distribute the doses among its 23 districts, reported news agency PTI.

Bengal, which has received 2.30 crore doses thus far, has vaccinated over 1.77 crore people with the first jab, and more than 62 lakh residents with both the shots, he noted. The state has spent Rs 59 crore to procure 18 lakh doses on its own, he said.

"West Bengal's inoculation process is moving at a snail's pace, the reason being irregular supply of doses by the Centre. If this trend continues, the drive will come to a halt at one point in time," the official told PTI. He further asserted the state has the capacity and infrastructure to vaccinate at least five lakh people every day.

"In UP and Bihar, health officials are sitting idle with vaccines at the camps. The situation here is just the opposite. We are not getting enough doses. We could have easily inoculated several lakh more people in our state if the supply had been smooth," he underlined.

COVID-19 Has Killed At Least 4,035,506 Since 2019 Outbreak: Report
The novel coronavirus has killed at least 4,035,506 people since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, according to a tally from official sources compiled by news agency AFP at 1000 GMT on Monday.
