Bharat Biotech on Tuesday said that its coronavirus vaccine, Covaxin, has been directly supplied to 18 states since May 1, adding that the company will continue the supply. In a separate tweet containing the same list of 18 states, the company’s Joint Managing Director Suchitra Ella said that “smaller shipments” of the vaccine were sent to them on May 10.
“Quite disheartening to the teams to hear some states complaining about our intentions,” Ella tweeted, in a possible reference to complains of shortage of vaccines from several parts of the country.
