Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on May 22 that the Covid-19 vaccination drive for the 18-44 years age group will be suspended due to lack of doses.

Providing the details of the vaccination, AAP MLA Atishi on Friday revealed, "For the 18-44 group, we have received a total supply of 8,17,690 vaccines out of which 7,75,310 have been used. Now, only 42,380 vaccine doses are available out of which 3000 are COVAXIN and 39,000 are COVISHIELD. After today's vaccination gets over, the supply of COVISHIELD will also get over".

As Delhi’s vaccine supply runs out, we will be temporarily halting vaccination for the 18-44 age-group from Monday.

I would like to appeal to the Central Govt to provide Delhi vaccine doses for this age group, as a lot of young people have lost their lives in the second wave https://t.co/ZJPbdaUMFG

She also said, "Today, our capacity for 18-44 vaccination has considerably reduced because we have very little supply. When we commenced the 18-44 vaccination, it was taking place at 368 sites in 99 schools. First, the supply of COVAXIN got over. Now, the supply of COVISHIELD is also almost over. Today, we are administering the vaccine to 18-44 groups only at 133 sites in 46 schools. This implies that we had to shut down 235 vaccination sites for 18-44 in the last one week."

She took to Twitter and said, “As Delhi’s vaccine supply runs out, we will be temporarily halting vaccination for the 18-44 age group from Monday. I would like to appeal to the Central Govt to provide Delhi vaccine doses for this age group, as a lot of young people have lost their lives in the second wave.”
