Jaipur: Rajasthan Health Minister Raghu Sharma on Thursday said the state government may move the Supreme Court like other states if the Centre does not invite global tender for procuring coronavirus vaccine.
"The state is getting Indian vaccines at a cheaper cost that are being made available by the Centre whereas it's costing high through a global tender. To avoid such dispute Centre should invite global tender. If it does not do so then state government may move Supreme Court like other states," he said.
He said that to increase the supply of vaccines, global tenders were issued by the state government in which nine companies participated including vendors of an Indian vaccine manufacturer.
Sharma said that the vaccination process has slowed down in the state as vaccine supply from manufacturers is short.
