Now in Delhi, you will be able to get the corona vaccine by going to any vaccination center. The vaccination center will have the facility of appointment and walk-in under the 50-50 formula. According to the Aam Aadmi Party, the central government has merged the vaccination stock of both the categories.

When Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain was asked whether the 45+ vaccine stock would now be used for 18+ as well, is there any separate arrangement for this, will more centers be built? Satyendar Jain, while answering this said, 'Now everything has become common. There is a category, whoever is 18+ or 45+, they are all in one category. All centers will now be common. On further asking whether 45+ people and 18+ can go to any vaccination center and get vaccinated? Satyendra Jain said that 'even if you do not take an appointment, the vaccine will be done on the walk-in too'.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi released the vaccination bulletin on Wednesday. Atishi said that on June 22, 84,539 people have been given vaccine doses in Delhi, out of which about 55 thousand doses have been administered to the youth. Whenever a vaccine is available to the youth, the speed of vaccination increases. If we also look at yesterday's figures, only a large number of youth have got the vaccination done.

He said that the only way to deal with the epidemic is to make vaccines available in sufficient quantity to the youth. The central government has finally consolidated the vaccination stock for the above 45 years age category and 18 to 44 years old category. So now the vaccine has become available for the youth.

Releasing the data, Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson said that so far 66,87,438 people have been vaccinated in Delhi. There have been more than 16 lakh people in Delhi who have received both the doses of the vaccine. Delhi currently has a stock of 9.76 lakh vaccines, out of which 9.10 lakh vaccines are available and 66 thousand vaccine doses are available. 2 Days of Covaccine and 13 Days of Covishield are in stock.

Atishi said that the central government is urged that the sooner and more number of vaccines they make available, the sooner the people of Delhi will come forward and get vaccinated. With this, you will also be safe from the epidemic and will also protect the entire Delhi.
