Covid vaccination will remain suspended from Friday at 152 vaccination centres of the civic body that administered Covishield because the authorities have run out of doses, officials said on Thursday.
Forty other centres of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation will continue administering Covaxin.
Of the 152 common vaccination centres (CVCs), 102 are primary health centres. Officials said the primary health centres would continue offering other services such as outdoor clinics.
The remaining 50, which were opened only to administer Covid vaccines, will remain shut till further orders.
“We have run out of Covishield doses. We will not administer any Covishield doses from Friday. Administration of Covishield will resume once fresh stocks arrive,” said a CMC official.
Fresh Covishield doses are expected to arrive on Sunday.
