Telangana's health minister Etala Rajender has told Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan that the state will soon run out of vaccines. The state also wants permission to start vaccinating people aged above 25. This came after the Telangana High Court asked the state why it is not vaccinating round-the-clock and why 90 per cent of the tests in Telangana were rapid antigen tests and not RT-PCR.
