The Centre has suggested States to ensure private vaccination centres providing Sputnik V vaccine reach out to beneficiaries for due doses — both second and precaution —while ensuring availability of the jab.
In a letter to States and Union Territories, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan on Thursday said it has been observed that the uptake of precaution dose of Sputnik V is only 0.5 per cent of those due for it.
