The Tamil Nadu government on Monday urged the Centre to revise the 75:25 allocation format of Covid vaccines to government and private institutions and demanded that 90 per cent of the doses be given to the state-run facilities. In a letter to Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Harsh Vardhan, Chief Minister M K Stalin said the “25 per cent allocation to private hospitals is grossly higher when compared to the actual vaccinations done by them. Stalin said in Tamil Nadu 1.43 crore jabs have been used so far, out of which private hospitals have “used only 6.5 lakh doses, which translates to just 4.5 per cent.”
