Delhi CM Wrote To Centre Urging Vaccination For All, Says Satyendar Jain

Mumbai: Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain said that in view of the country’s rising COVID-19 cases, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written a letter to the Central Government urging to open vaccination for all.

Addressing the media, Jain said on Thursday, “The Chief Minister wrote to the Centre that vaccination should be opened to all. We have made two more requests that vaccination should be allowed for at least all adults. Secondly, it should be allowed even at camp settings and not only at healthcare facilities.”

He said that instead of fighting the epidemic, the Center alleged that the vaccination of health workers in Delhi was low.

“We must fight the COVID-19 epidemic together. The Center alleges that there was less vaccination of health workers in Delhi. We can also say that there was less vaccination at Centre’s hospitals. This isn’t an issue, the issue is that we have to vaccinate more and more people soon,” he said.

Jain also said out of the total vaccination done in Delhi, only 30 per cent to 40 per cent was done in the central government’s hospitals. Jain also informed that Delhi has COVID-19 vaccine stock that will last only for four to five more days. He said the vaccination drive is going well in Delhi.

“We received some vaccines yesterday. We have stock for 4-5 days. We have demanded more and we will get it,” he added
