India Set to Achieve Milestone of 200 Crore Covid Vaccinations
India is on the brink of administering 200 crore Covid-19 vaccine doses. Before India’s new milestone is achieved in what is being called the “largest vaccine drive” by the central government, union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya tweeted saying history was about to be created under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The countdown to two billion doses began earlier on Saturday as the health ministry data showed that India’s cumulative vaccination coverage had exceeded 199.71 crore jabs on the day.
Over 3.79 crore first doses have been administered in the age group of 12 to 14 years, and more than 193.53 crore vaccine doses provided to states and union territories, as per health ministry data available 10 am.
To mark 75 years of India’s independence under ‘Azadi ka amrit mahotsav’, on Friday, the Centre announced that the booster dose will be available for free for 75 days. Special vaccination camps, including door-to-door services, have been initiated for administering the booster dose to as many beneficiaries as possible in this time period.
Data shows more than 13.3 lakh precaution doses were administered to beneficiaries in the age group of 18 to 59 years till 10 pm on Friday. A majority of these were free under the special 75-day drive, which is aimed at boosting the uptake of precaution doses among eligible population.
