They are public health goods and therefore vaccines have to be optimally utilised. Vaccine wastage has to be drastically reduced. Any reduction in wastage means that you end up inoculating more people and therefore the chances of disrupting the chain of infection grow that much more," Bhushan said.</p> <p>It is to be noted that a vial of the Covid-19 vaccine contains a set number of doses that need to be administered within a few hours of opening it else it could lead to wastage. </p> <p>As per the latest figures, more than 3.64 Crore COVID-19 vaccine doses have been administered, so far. About 14.03 lakh vaccine doses were given till 7 pm in last 24 hours. Out of the total dosage administered 1.38 crore (All 1st doses) has been given to people aged 60 years and above, and people aged 45-59 years with comorbidities.</p>
