"In A Marathon, Not A 100-Metre Sprinter": Centre On Covid Vaccination | Read
India is vaccinating, on average, 50 lakh individuals -- almost equivalent to the population of Norway -- against Covid daily since June 21, the Centre said today. There has been an increase in the number since the government's new phase of the nationwide inoculation drive kicked in on June 21, according to Dr VK Paul, NITI Aayog member for health. "The earlier estimate of 216 crore vaccine doses between August and December 2021 was an aspirational or optimistic one," Dr Paul said.
