The Centre has revised the formula for fixing the cap on vaccines allowed for private hospitals per month, reports Sumitra Debroy.

Under the new ‘maximum order quantity’ (MOQ) plan for each facility private players can now place orders based on triple the average daily consumption of one of their best performing weeks of the previous month.

Earlier, it was double the average daily consumption of the vaccine. The decision was communicated to private hospitals across the country through a series of online meetings on Wednesday. Central officials told the private centres that they could start placing orders through Co-Win from the next few days in four instalments or at one go. Private hospitals were supposed to place vaccine orders from July 1 through CoWin, but they haven’t been able to do so.
