According to the Ministry of Health, the pace at which vaccination is being carried out in the country means that there is enough stock of vaccine available in the country for only 5.5 days. Also, stocks of vaccine are in the pipeline for an additional supply of one more week. This could be a warning sign against the backdrop of the rapidly expanding corona.
