'Impossible to Fully Vaccinate All Adults in 2021, Govt's Mistakes to Blame'  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WEGkPu-07E Aug 5, 2021  Prof. Ramakumar first points out that the government has failed to meet the target it set in its June affidavit to the Supreme Court of making available 51.6 crore doses by the 31st of July. Even though Dr. V. K. Paul claimed at a recent press conference (3/8) that the target had been met, a Health Ministry press release dated the 31st of July confirms that supply was only 48.7 crore, a shortfall of 5.6%, whilst actual consumption i.e. jabs given to people was only 45.8%, a shortfall of 11.2%.

India’s vaccine targets and mismatch with production

Since January, the Modi government has announced several vaccination targets. In its latest affidavit to the supreme court (pdf) on June 26, the government said it would administer a cumulative 516 million doses till the end of July. Till today (July 23), it has administered a little over 418 million doses.  “The fact is that the supply of vaccines remains considerably lower than the demand for vaccines,” R Ramakumar, professor at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai, wrote in The Indian Express newspaper. “Firstly, India’s vaccine production capacity is not rising as is regularly claimed by the government of India. Secondly, the government’s projections for vaccine availability are consistently inflated and unrealistic,” he added.
