On Wednesdays, the Covid immunization process is not carried out in our government dispensaries, and instead, the routine immunization for the children is carried. Due to this, the vaccination numbers have been less in the past few days. 
Vaccination numbers are continuously low because the vaccines are unavailable for the youth. If we are to look at those who are above the age of 45 years, then already 50% people have gotten vaccinated, but only 10-12% of the youth has been vaccinated.” 

She stated, “These are the children who want to get vaccinated but until now within the past 10 days and extra, the Central Government has not sent any vaccines for the youth. If the children want to get vaccinated in the present day, they’ve just one possibility, which is to go to personal hospitals to get administered vaccines at an exorbitant worth. Those vaccines are administered for Rs.800/ Rs.900/ Rs.1,000/ Rs.1,250/ Rs.1,400 by personal hospitals.”

“This continues to be a really massive query that the Delhi authorities is not getting vaccines to be administered for free, but personal hospitals are being given ample vaccines to be administered at exorbitant prices. What type of a nexus that is of the personal hospitals and the BJP-led Central Government that they’re giving vaccines to personal hospitals, but not the Delhi Government, which was vaccinating folks for free, and which has been utterly over for the reason that past 10 days and extra and are even not being sent for the subsequent one week,” she additional added.

If we’re to have a look at the inventory place then there aren’t any vaccines obtainable for the youth – neither Covaxin nor Covishield. To have a look at the state of affairs of these above 45, yesterday the Delhi authorities acquired 2.25 lakh doses of Covishield, which makes the vaccination inventory for 45+ come to about 6,25,660 out of which round 6 lakh doses are of Covishield and round 23,000 doses are of Covaxin.”

“The doses of Covaxin are solely getting used because the second dose and first-time vaccination can be being carried out by Covishield. We have Covaxin obtainable for the subsequent 1-2 days and we have now 29 days of Covishield doses obtainable,” she added. 

She stated, “It is our attraction to the Central Government that we do have the vaccines for these above 45 years and we’re vaccinating the 45+ but now it’s our attraction that they need to ship the vaccines for the children too. The youth is such a phase that may be very captivated with getting vaccinated, they’re such a phase the place there isn’t any vaccine hesitancy. The youth is such a phase that come themselves to get vaccinated and together with themselves, they get the opposite members of their household too.”

“If we’re to enhance the speed of vaccination then we may have to vaccinate the youth as a result of the youth of the nation is conscious, they’re not hesitant concerning the vaccine and the youth of the nation desires to get vaccinated. So, it’s our attraction to the Central authorities that we have now the vaccines for 45 + for the subsequent 29 days, we want vaccines for the youth and the youth of Delhi want vaccination for free. So, it’s our request to the Central authorities that as an alternative of sending the vaccines to the personal hospitals, they make the vaccines obtainable to the Delhi authorities,” she added.
