New Delhi:
Nearly 16 lakh people have been vaccinated since January 16, when the mass inoculation drive against COVID-19 was launched, with 10 lakh taking vaccine shots in just six days, a count which is higher than that of countries like the US and the UK, the Health Ministry said today.
The UK took 18 days whereas the US took 10 days to reach the 10 lakh mark, the government said.
15.82 lakh people have been vaccinated in 27,920 sessions so far, of which 1.91 lakh people were vaccinated on Saturday (in 3,512 sessions) alone, according to the Health Ministry."
So 1.6 m vaccinated in 6 days.
India is at the 7th position by number of ppl vaccinated, though we started 6 days back.
The bottleneck seems to be the protocol to be followed post vaccination. Patients have to be observed for a couple of hours after vaccination.
Pretty good going.
Meanwhile-
India is one of the world's biggest drugmakers and has already sent consignments of coronavirus vaccines under grant assistance to several countries in South Asia.
