On April 7, the Rajasthan government has written to the Centre about the shortage of Covid-19 vaccines and has sought 30 lakh doses to continue with the inoculation drive.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has said: "The present stock of vaccines in Rajasthan will finish in the next two days."
Many state governments have recently complained of vaccine shortage to the Union government and have asked it to send more vaccines to keep up the vaccination drive.
The Centre has, however, refuted the claim of the vaccine shortage.
