Odisha seeks 95% vaccine allocation for State, 5% to private hospitals -Satyasundar Barik

Uptake from 25% allocation to private hospitals is less because of their low presence, CM tells PM

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday demanded an increase in the allocation of vaccines for the State to 95%, and a reduction in the share available to private hospitals to 5%, in order to speed up the COVID-19 inoculation drive in Odisha.

In a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and other Chief Ministers, Mr. Patnaik said that due to the low presence of private hospitals in the State, the lifting of vaccines from the 25% private hospitals’ quota had been less.

“We had written to the Centre to increase the allocation to the State government to 95% and reduce the allocation to private hospitals to 5%. This will help us in increasing the pace of vaccination in the State,” he said.

Mr. Patnaik said Odisha had performed very well in vaccination and its wastage was among the lowest in the country.

“I would like to request that the vaccines for the age group of 12-18 years may be prioritised and rolled out at the earliest,” he said, voicing concerns over the anticipated third wave and its impact on children.

Odisha has faced disruption in its COVID-19 vaccination drive due to shortage in the availability of vaccines. This week, vaccination had to be stopped in 24 out of 30 districts as Covishield doses ran out.
