Gujarat Govt before High Court: 3 Crore vaccine orders have been given.

Vaccine Companies: We are unable to take the order in one go. As and when vaccines are available, we will provide.

Gujarat HC: Whats the point of ordering and no getting the vaccines #Covishield #Covaxin

Gujarat Government is vaccinating 2.5 Lakh vaccines per day. We have placed an order of 6.5 crore vaccines.

We are waiting for other vaccines like Sputnik : Advocate General Trivedi

Gujarat Advocate General Kamal Trivedi: We are at the mercy of these manufactures.

Government of India has mandated that Vaccine Manufacturer will not provide more than 50% of the manufacture to any single state.

Gujarat HC: Whats the problem in asking for a global tender? Why cant state make an effort

Gujarat Govt: Pfizer and Moderna dont want to interact with State Government. They want to interact only with Central Govt

#Covishield #Covaxin #GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

Gujarat HC: Spot registration. People who don't have ability or facility to register, can't we have spot registration.

This is very helpful in rural areas, if not urban areas (We are suggesting this)

#GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

Gujarat HC: Cant you work out with the Central Government as far as 2nd dose is concerned.

AG Kamal Trivedi: 2.25 Lakhs are being administered

HC: How many are 18-44 years age group

AG: 1,28,283 received in this age group.

#GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

Gujarat HC: Every time the time between 1st dose and 2nd dose is changing. How come is it changed so regularly? Whats the logic or science?

AG: Globally this time is changing. A lot of research is happening and therefore its changing.

#GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

Gujarat HC:

89 Lakhs have received 1st dose (above 45 years age). Out of them 28 Lakhs have received 2nd dose. This is shocking

Why?

#GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

Gujarat HC: You have to prepare yourself that the people will not wear a mask, will not maintain social distancing in this country.

#GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

AG: When we compare with the Western World, they have more cases (if you total the population)

Gujarat HC: China is a different example.

AG: China is a different story.

HC: We cannot implement the discipline done by China.

#GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

AG responds to Senior Advocate Kavina's comment of State Government is issuing Fatwas

AG: We are not issuing Fatwa. Let advisories not be told as Fatwa

HC: At no stretch of imagination, it cannot be called Fatwa.

#GujaratHighCourt #GujaratCoronaUpdate

Devang Vyas: The advisory now for Covishield is 12-16 weeks.

AG: Covaxin manufacturing abilities is much lesser than Covisheild. Covaxin time period has not changed.

HC: How will we manage? Covixin manufacturing is less and time period is also less

#GujaratHighCourt

Gujarat HC to hear the matter next on June 15.
