The government also imposed a cap, or a "maximum limit", on the number of doses a private hospital can order for a given month, in order to balance limited supply and prevent wastage. "States and UTs will be informed by MoHFW, about the total quantum of doses available for private CVCs in a month for them.
They will aggregate the demand from private CVCs, keeping these quantities in mind," a statement from the Union health ministry said.
According to the data published at 7 am, cumulatively 33.28 crore vaccine doses have been administered so far under the Nationwide Vaccination Drive.
