• COVAXIN vaccine: 00

The doses in vaccine vial are to be consumed within 4 hours after opening the vial otherwise these are wasted. Since each of the vial contain 10 or 20 doses and the low turnout may result in wastage of the precious vaccine especially at the centers where very less number of beneficiaries are coming for vaccination.
