Share Data Of Vaccination Drive: Congress Leader To Assam Chief Minister

"Vaccination administration shows an inverse trend, especially since the first week of May," Assam Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi said in a letter to Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Congress leader and Kaliabor MP Gaurav Gogoi urged Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to clear details regarding COVID-19 vaccination in Assam. "I have been following your daily updates on Twitter enumerating the daily vaccination statistics. While the updates on testing reveal an exponential rise in the positivity rate, vaccination administration shows an inverse trend, especially since the first week of May," Mr Gogoi said in the letter. "It reflects an inconsistent trend and a marked decline. The number plummeted from over one lakh on April 30, 2021 to a mere forty thousand on May 5, 2021," Mr Gogoi said. He wrote the state began vaccinating 18-45 population on May 7. Since then, the updates on Twitter report the total number of vaccinations administered in a day as a sum of people in both categories -18-45 and above 45. Despite this cumulative reporting, the total vaccines administered in a day is yet to touch the one lakh mark again.
