Bengal Falls Short Of 20 Lakh Syringes For Vaccination
After a shortage of Covid vaccines, West Bengal now has a shortage of syringes with which to administer the jabs. But this is not due to any lapses since the state has been very efficient in its use of vaccine vials and recorded negative wastage, which is extracting extra shots from the vaccine vials. But an extra jab means an extra syringe used. So now the state is shopping for 20 lakh syringes to continue the vaccination process.
