The Maharashtra government has received 9.63 lakh doses of Covishield vaccine from Serum Institute of India (SII), health minister Rajesh Tope said on Tuesday.
The inoculation drive against coronavirus will be held at 511 centres across 36 districts of the state, he said, as the first consignments of vaccine left SII in Pune earlier in the day.

"The necessary arrangement of electricity, Internet and webcasting service has been made at all these centres," Tope said in a release.
