The country is in a ‘war-like situation’ and the Centre needs to take the lead since the responsibility of buying and distributing vaccine doses lies with it, says the Chief Minister. Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said the Delhi government was in talks with the manufacturers of the Sputnik V for the procurement of the vaccine doses to be utilised in the Capital.
Talks were, however, still on in regard to the quantity of doses which would be supplied to the Delhi government, he said. Mr. Kejriwal was speaking after inspecting the first drive-thru vaccination centre in Dwarka.
He also said that there were around 620 cases of black fungus or mucormycosis in the city, but there is a shortage of Amphotericin-B injections used in its treatment.
