Both vaccines, Covaxin and Covishield, will be exhausted today. We have received nearly 1,500 Covaxin doses. Nearly, 5,500 doses of Covishield were received four days ago. We have distributed it to the entire district and started the vaccination process. Probably, the vaccines will get over by evening today. We have to wait till vaccines come from the state government."
