On Thursday, a consignment of 1 lakh Covishield vaccines and 1.82 lakh doses of Covaxin had arrived in the state yesterday.
The state has been grappling with a scarcity of vaccines for the past three days. No inoculation drive was held in 16 districts on Thursday and 11 districts on Wednesday.
“The vaccines will be despatched to the districts on Saturday. However, this will take some time,” said Director of Family Welfare Bijay Kumar Panigrahi.
