NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India’s health minister said on Thursday the country had more than 43 million COVID-19 vaccine doses in stock or in the pipeline, after many states complained of having to close inoculation centres due to a lack of supplies.
“Let’s put an end to fear mongering now!” Harsh Vardhan said on Twitter. “Where does question of shortages arise? We’re continuously monitoring & enhancing supply.”
India has so far administered more than 90 million doses.
