Now, Covid jabs available at only 3 hospitals in UT

Come Wednesday, the Covid vaccine will only be available at three government hospitals in Chandigarh —Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (from 9 am to 7 pm), PGIMER (from 9 am to 2 pm) and Government Medical College & Hospital, Sector 32 (from 9 am to 2 pm), till further orders.

The decision was taken to avoid wastage of vaccines and to also avoid a waiting period at vaccination centres.

The UT health department said, “The daily Covid vaccination has been low during the last month for all three Covid vaccines. The doses in the vaccine vial have to be consumed within four hours of opening it, otherwise they are wasted. Since each vial contains 10 or 20 doses, low turnout may result in wastage.
