AAP govt vs Centre over vaccines supply; US clears Covid-19 jabs for those aged between 12-15 years; more
  • 3 years ago
After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal shot off a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the vaccine shortage in the city, BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi has now hit out at Arvind Kejriwal and questioned why the Delhi government hasn't floated global vaccine tenders as several other states have done. The chief minister had written to PM Modi, saying the Centre should share the vaccine formula of the two manufacturers with other capable pharmaceutical companies to scale up production in the country. Meanwhile, Covid-19 vaccines finally are headed for more kids as US regulators on Monday expanded use of Pfizer’s shot to those as young as 12, sparking a race to protect middle and high school students before they head back to class in the fall. Shots could begin as soon as a federal vaccine advisory committee issues recommendations for using the two-dose vaccine in 12- to 15-year-olds, expected on Wednesday.
