The country is grappling with the vaccine shortage while there is a lot of vaccines being wasted in states. Jharkhand is at the top of the vaccine wasting states, where 37.3 percent of the total supply of vaccines can be wasted. The Jharkhand government is escaping from this ground reality and blaming the central government, while the health minister of the Chhattisgarh government, who is second on the list of vaccine wastage, is calling this claim ridiculous.
