New Delhi: While addressing a press conference, Health Minister Satyendar Jain said that Delhi has enough resources to supply the coronavirus vaccines to the entire city in three to four weeks.
He said that the Delhi government has the facilities like mohalla clinics, polyclinics, dispensaries and hospitals to vaccinate the entire population in quick succession. He also said that there will be no shortage of vaccines.
“We are waiting for the vaccine to be made available. The city has the infrastructure to make it available for the entire population within 3-4 weeks. It will depend on how soon we get it from the central government,” Jain said.
