Health dept. blames Central figures on data mismatch The Haryana Health Department on Tuesday clarified that the recent vaccine wastage data released by the Union government for the State was higher than the actual due to data mismatch and was now corrected to just 2-3%. The Union government in a recently released data had pegged the vaccine wastage in Haryana at 6%. Additional Chief Secretary, Health, Rajeev Arora said that in a data recently released by the Union government, Haryana was shown with 6% wastage of Covishield vaccine and 10.2% of Covaxin, and attributed it to data mismatch. He said the data mismatch was corrected and subsequently the wastage percentage for Covishield and Covaxin dropped to 3.1 and 2.4 respectively from 6 and 10.2. Thus, the average vaccine wastage percentage is between 2-3, said Mr. Arora.
