On the vaccine front, several high caseload states including Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab, Maharashtra, Karnataka are not following the 70:30 directive. Delhi, for instance, has the formula reversed – it is dedicating 29% to second shots and 71% to first shots. Rajasthan is following 40:60 formula.
The Centre, in a move to ensure states dedicate 70% vaccine towards the second dose and curb vaccine wastage, told states on Tuesday that it would start deducting from their fortnightly allocations if they fail to adhere to targets on both these counts.
