Vaccination in India is seen as the only way to reduce the havoc of Corona. At the same time, many states have expressed lack of vaccine. Meanwhile, America’s Covid-19 vaccine manufacturer Moderna coronavirus vaccine has refused to send the vaccine directly to the Punjab government, saying that it only deals with the central government. This information was given by a senior state official on Sunday.
Punjab nodal officer for the vaccine Vikas Garg said that as per the instructions of Chief Minister Amarinder Singh, all vaccine manufacturers were directly contacted for purchase of vaccines including Sputnik V, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
Moderna will deal with the Government of India – Moderna
Nodal officer Vikas Garg said that the response has come from Modarna in which the company has refused to compromise with the state government. The Punjab government issued a statement saying that as per the policy of Moderna, it deals with the Government of India and not with the state government or any private party.
Second phase vaccination had to be stopped due to lack of vaccine
Earlier, the Chief Minister directed the officials to explore the possibility of issuing tenders globally for procuring the vaccine from all possible sources so that the people of the state can be vaccinated against Kovid-19 at the earliest. Significantly, due to non-availability of vaccine doses, Punjab had to stop vaccination in the first and second phase category.
