Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], July 15 (ANI): The vaccination drive against the COVID-19 virus came to an unexpected halt in Ranchi on Thursday after most session sites ran out of vaccines.

Two sites--High Court and AG office-- however, continued to function.

With most sites running out of COVID vaccine stocks, the district administration informed beforehand about the closure of centres resulting in vaccination sites wearing a deserted look.

The nodal officer for vaccination in Ranchi, Dr Bimlesh Singh said, "There is a scarcity of vaccines. We are hopeful to get some doses tomorrow. But gaining the previous momentum will take time because around 1 lakh doses are received and it is allocated for all 24 districts." (ANI)
