Union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan on Wednesday asked the states to be practical and realistic especially with limited supply of vaccines. He said that the country’s total vaccine production capacity in the month of May was going to touch 8 crore doses, which was expected to go up to about 9 crore doses by June. The minister said the central government was making all efforts to further ramp up vaccine production in the country in the coming weeks.
