As we know the scarcity of Covid-19 vaccine has become a common phenomenon. However, it appears that the situation is improving slowly, on Thursday; the administration announced that Nagpur district had received 61,000 vaccines of COVID-19.

Covaxin will be used for vaccination at Mahal, Chhapru School, and Manewada urban primary healthcare centre in Nagpur city, as well as at vaccination centres in Saoner and Kamptee in rural areas.

Meanwhile, on front of oxygen supply, four more tankers were air-lifted from Nagpur on Thursday evening. It was done as part of the district administration’s plan to secure supply of oxygen from Odisha. On Wednesday, four tankers were air-lifted from Nagpur to Odisha to bring oxygen from Angul steel plant. The tankers sent on Thursday also shall follow the schedule. On Thursday, from various sources, the district received 106 MT of oxygen. The said supply came from oxygen filling centres in Bhilai, Raipur, and Nagpur.
