Bharat Biotech has declined to supply any more vaccines to Delhi

Sisodia says Delhi demanded 1.34 crore doses of Covid-19 vaccines, 67 lakhs each of Covaxin and Covishield, but Bharat Biotech wrote it can't provide as dispatches are being made as per the directives of concerned government officials

In yet another SOS to the Centre, Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia said today that Bharat Biotech has declined to supply any more vaccines to the national capital. He said Delhi's reserve stock of Covid-19 vaccine is exhausted, and that the Centre should carry out its responsibility and stop all exports to fulfil the domestic demand.

He said Delhi had demanded 1.34 crore doses of Covid-19 vaccines, 67 lakhs each of Covaxin and Covishield. "Covaxin (Bharat Biotech) wrote to us yesterday that they can't provide. They wrote 'we're making dispatches as per directives of concerned govt officials'. Obvious that these are central govt officials," said the Delhi deputy chief minister.

While slamming the Centre over the issue of shortage of vaccines, Sisodia said the central government should act as the government of a country. "They should carry out their responsibility and stop all exports," he added.
