The AAP government, he said, has requested both companies -- Bharat Biotech (Covaxin) and Serum Institute of India (Covishield), to make available 67 lakh doses each to the government in the next three months.
"Vaccination for those between 18 and 44 is scheduled to start from tomorrow. But vaccines have not reached yet. We are in constant touch with the manufacturers and hopeful that vaccines will reach here tomorrow and day after," he said.
