'Why so few vaccines?': Maharashtra health minister Rajesh Tope accuses Centre of 'discrimination' over jab supply

Firstpost  

Maharashtra health minister Rajesh Tope also said he has raised the “issue of vaccine discrimination” towards Maharashtra with Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, who has assured him that corrections will be made soon The Maharashtra govt on Thursday, welcoming the Centre’s offer to send 17 lakh COVID-19 vaccines, however, said that the supply is too little to meet its daily needs and accused the BJP-led NDA govt of being “discriminatory” towards non-BJP ruled states in supplying vaccines. Citing figures of supply of vaccine doses, Maharashtra health minister Rajesh Tope in a Facebook live said that the Centre was “supplying more vaccines to BJP-ruled states” such as Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Haryana compared to Maharashtra despite them having fewer cases and population, reports said. Stating the Centre’s announcement on Thursday to increase supply to 17 lakh doses by 15 April is not enough, Tope Thursday reiterated that the state needs 1.6 crore vaccine doses a month and 40 lakh vaccines a week. He also said he has raised the “isstue of vaccine discrimination” towards Maharashtra with Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, who has assured him that corrections will be made soon, the report added.
