Krishna (Andhra Pradesh) [India], April 21 : Two lakh doses of Covishield vaccine landed at Gannavaram Airport Vijayawada on Wednesday.
COVID-19 vaccine maker Serum Institute of India (SII), Pune sent the supply to the state via air.
From the airport, the vaccine has been sent to the state storage centre located at Gannavaram by road transport.
