Earlier today, Union Minister Piyush Goyal slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his criticism of the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination process. The Union Minister attacked the Wayanad MP and stated that he should refrain from petty politics during the fight against COVID. Goyal, in a tweet, informed that 12 crore vaccine doses will be available in July which is separate from the supply to private hospitals.

"12 crore vaccine doses will be available in July - separate from supply to private hospitals. States have been informed about supply 15 days back.
