But almost all the states across the country are facing a shortage of vaccines and states like Telangana have suspended vaccination drives on the weekend.

“As Russia and India continue dedicated joint efforts to combat the #COVID19, this move is especially important to support the Indian Government’s endeavors to mitigate the deadly second wave and save lives,” commented Russian Ambassador to India, Nikolay Kudashev.
