This has raised criticism at home as India’s per-capita vaccination figure is much lower than many countries. “Centre to continually replenish states’ supplies,” he said on Twitter. “Avoid overstocking and under stocking.”India has already decided to delay big vaccine exports for now, including to the WHO-backed global vaccine alliance COVAX. India has reported more than 12 million infections, including a big surge last month.
