Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said on Thursday the country had more than 43 million Covid-19 vaccine doses in stock or in the pipeline after many states complained of having to close inoculation centres due to a lack of supplies.

"Let’s put an end to fear mongering now!" Harsh Vardhan said on Twitter. "Where does question of shortages arise? We're continuously monitoring & enhancing supply."

India has so far administered more than 90 million doses.
