Health Minister JP Nadda Confirms No Nationwide Anti-Rabies Vaccine Shortage
Health Minister JP Nadda informed the Lok Sabha that there is no nationwide shortage of anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) in India. He emphasized that health is a state subject, with states and Union Territories responsible for procuring and distributing ARV and rabies immunoglobulin (RIG). The Centre supports states through the National Rabies Control Programme by allocating funds and providing technical assistance, while procurement remains decentralized. Temporary shortages may occur locally due to demand or supply issues, managed by respective state authorities.
