"States Left To Compete In International Market:" Arvind Kejriwal On Vaccines

States are facing a massive shortage of vaccines, bringing the vaccination drive to a halt for those between 18 to 44 years of age. At least 10 state governments are floating global tenders to acquire the requisite stock of vaccines. On Tuesday Delhi, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana governments decided to issue global tenders for procurement of COVID-19 vaccines as the domestic supply has failed to keep up with the rising demand. Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha have also issued global tenders for procuring vaccines as quickly as possible.
