A day after Delhi’s Health Minister Satyendar Jain flagged that the city only had enough Covaxin doses for a day and Covishield for four, CM Arvind Kejriwal said it is important to increase vaccine production on war footing and frame national plan to vaccinate all.

He said going by the current pace of vaccine production by Serum Institute and Bharat Biotech it'll take over 2 yrs to vaccinate everyone as they produce only 6-7 crore vaccines a month. Kejriwal urged the centre to share COVID-19 vaccine formulas and allow more companies to manufacture doses.

Speaking about the decline in daily new Covid cases in Delhi, Kejriwal said he had used the lockdown to scale up infrastructure.
