Delhi on Saturday received a fresh stock of 1,67,000 Covishield doses for people in the 18-44 age group, taking the total number of Covid-19 vaccines available for the group in the national capital to 2,95,000, said senior AAP leader and MLA Atishi. At present, she said Delhi now has 2,58,000 doses of Covishield and 37,000 doses of Covaxin available for the 18-44 age group.

"We have seen that the speed of the vaccination drive goes up with the availability of vaccines for the 18-44 age group, and goes down as soon as they are on the verge of running out of stock. Here, we are happy to share that Delhi on Friday received 1,67,000 Covishield doses for the age group," said the MLA from Kalkaji. "The present stock of Covishield and Covaxin doses would last for 14 and two days, respectively. So we urge more youngsters to book their slot on the CoWin app and get themselves inoculated," she added.

Speaking about the coronavirus vaccine stock available for those above 45 years, she said there are almost 8,50,000 Covid-19 doses in the present stock, of which 7,65,000 are Covishield and 80,000 Covaxin. "While the Covaxin stock is good enough to last for six days, the Covishield stock would last for another 58 days," she said.
