I was told by the dealers that I will have to shell out anything between 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh for the injections. I told them I am ready to pay Rs 2 lakh to save a life, precious for me. Whenever other states report any shortage, Punjab also faces the effect but as of today we are comfortable. COVID VACCINE SHORTAGEOwing to shortage of Covid vaccine supply, Punjab had to suspend vaccination camps in the state on Tuesday and suspend vaccination at 20 other centres.
