PUNE: The Union health ministry has refuted the Indian Medical Association's (IMA) claim that as many as 50 lakh Covishield doses of imminent expiry (February-end or early March) are lying unused with private hospitals across the country.
TOI had highlighted the issue in a report published on Thursday (February 3), citing IMA's apprehension that these doses are likely to go waste if preventive measures are not taken in time. The health ministry has already directed state governments to compile data of such doses.
