The Centre had directed the States not to disclose such information
After the Union Health Ministry issued instructions to the States that they should not disclose information on the stocks of vaccines, Minister for Medical and Family Welfare Ma. Subramanian said giving people accurate information was the right thing to do.
“They have said that both the Union Health Ministry and the State Health Departments should not disclose the position of vaccine stocks. If we do not tell, the people will not know. They will end up waiting in queues for the vaccines and get disappointed. It is only appropriate to state facts, and that is what we have been doing,” he told reporters on Thursday.
