Telangana Allocated 28 Lakh Vaccine Doses For July

Hyderabad: The supply of Covid vaccinations to Telangana is expected to improve after the Union government allocated almost 28 lakh vaccine doses for July on Thursday.

Telangana will get around 23,22,990 Covishield doses out of the total of 28 lakh vaccinations, while the remaining (4,76,300 doses) will be Covaxin.
