Health Ministry to probe/mitigate vaccination cock-upsBy Buddhika Samaraweera and Dinitha RathnayakeThe Ministry of Health has attributed the numerous irregularities seen in the national vaccination drive so far, such as the lack of adherence to priority lists, to the high demand for vaccines and the limited supply of them. “Problems that have been reported with regard to the anti Covid-19 vaccines have not been reported in the case of vaccines for other diseases. The short supply of anti-Covid-19 vaccines and the increasing demand for them have led to these irregularities,” he added. The Health Ministry has launched an investigation into the irregularities during this vaccination program in Galle. The Production, Supply and Regulation of Pharmaceuticals Minister Prof. Channa Jayasumana had also raised the matter in Parliament.
