Chandigarh (Punjab): With the state running out of Covishield vaccine and a Covaxin stock of just 112,821 doses, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday reiterated the demand for supply of more vaccines by the Centre to complete the vaccination of all eligible persons in the next two months.
Even as he ordered the opening of the vaccination drive for the entire population in the 18-45 age group, subject to availability, the Chief Minister said the efforts would remain focused on covering the categories prioritised earlier. The Punjab government has set a target to vaccinate all the eligible persons in two months, followed by the second vaccine dose as per schedule, he added. Currently, 4.8 per cent of Punjab's eligible population has been fully vaccinated, with Mohali leading the chart in both first and second doses.
