The recovered doses are fake. ‘

The statement added, “The World Health Organization is concerned about the recovery of counterfeit doses. Because, as a result of these activities, there is a serious risk to public health and the epidemic is being prolonged. ‘

A ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “We have already taken necessary steps to avoid such incidents. But even then it could not be avoided. An investigation has already been launched to find out who is producing the fake dose and the total number of Indians who have been given the fake dose is being investigated.
