Sputnik arrived in Hyderabad yesterday and discussions are on to get the Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson shots too," Reddy said.
"Vaccination should not be seen from a political point of view," he added.
Currently, three COVID-19 vaccines are available in the country - Serum Institute of India's Covishied, Bharat Biotech's COVAXIN, and the Sputnik V.
