‘Maharashtra govt temporarily suspends Covid vaccination for 18-44 group’: Tope

Due to acute shortage of COVID-19 vaccine doses, the Maharashtra government on Wednesday decided to suspend the drive to vaccinate those in the age group of 18 to 44 and divert the available stock for the above-45 years category, Health Minister Rajesh Tope said. "There is no sufficient supply of vaccine vials by the Centre for inoculation of above-45 age group people.
