1,000 Covishield Doses Found Frozen At Assam's Medical College

Assam's Silchar Medical College and Hospital witnessed a total of 1,000 doses of spoiled 'Covishield' vaccines due to extreme cold storage temperatures. While the ideal storage temperature for the vaccine is 2-8°C, the temperature of the storage facility at SMCH slumped to minus 5-6°C, freezing the vaccines. Instigating a probe into the matter, the state Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the lapses might have occurred probably due to lack of training.
