Maharashtra Crosses 1-Crore Vaccination Mark

The vaccination drive began on January 16 this year across the country and is currently underway for front-line and health care workers, and people aged 45 years and above.

Maharashtra has administered COVID-19 vaccine doses to over one crore people so far, a senior health official said on Sunday. The vaccination drive began on January 16 this year across the country and is currently underway for front-line and health care workers, and people aged 45 years and above. "We have crossed one crore doses today. Till today noon, we have administered 1,00,38,421 doses," Maharashtra's principal secretary (health) Pradeep Vyas said in a statement. Amid reports of Maharashtra facing an acute shortage of the doses, hampering its immunisation drive, Union minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday said the state has received 1.10 crore doses of the anti-COVID-19 vaccines so far.
