BHOPAL: Uncertainty looms large over vaccination dose availability in the state on Wednesday. Vaccine shortage may well mar the inoculation drive in the state for a couple of days.
Health department sources said that inoculation would be carried out on Wednesday, but how many doses would be available was not sure. Whatever doses are available will be administered at the vaccination centres. If the Centre supplies doses of vaccines even by late night, they will be distributed in districts by morning and vaccination will be carried out smoothly. But, in case supplies are not made, there will be an acute shortage of doses. Under such circumstances, vaccination will be carried out with the available limited doses.
