The Delhi High Court said that "wastage of even a single dose of vaccine,when the same is proving to be life–saving, would be a criminal waste", referring to reports of wastage of as 44 lakhs vaccines out of 10 crores vaccines allotted to States.
A division bench comprising of Justices Vipin Sanghi and Rekha Palli observed, "Once the vial is opened, it has to be either fully consumed, or the remainder goes waste." The bench was informed that one vial contains 10 doses.
The matter will be next considered on April 22.
