Rajasthan receives 4 lakh doses to keep vaccination drive on | Jaipur News

JAIPUR: The state reported 1.11 lakh Covid-19 vaccinations on Sunday as daily figures of inoculations slumped for the fourth consecutive day amid shortage of doses.
The cumulative vaccination rose to 99,84,268 in the state, just short of one-crore mark, among those 88,02,874 are first dose vaccinations and 11,81,394 are second dose vaccinations.
On April 7, the state had set a record of vaccinating 5,81,299 doses, but since then the health department had to scale down the vaccination drive as the stock almost went dry.
Till Sunday morning, the state had around 2.5 lakh doses and out of those, 1.1 lakh have been vaccinated. The state is left with around 1.4 lakh doses. But the state received 4 lakh doses in the morning supplied by the Centre, which provided relief to the health authorities. The vaccines now have been sent to Alwar, Dausa, Jaisalmer, Barmer and some other districts.
Since the vaccine doses are being supplied in small amounts from the Centre, the health department had to reduce the number of vaccination centres across the state. On April 7, the state had organized 4,129 sessions, which have now been reduced to 1,296 as it has been decreasing for the past four days.
