India Overtakes US In Terms Of Total Covid-19 Vaccination Coverage; Over 32.3 Crore Jabs Administered So Far

The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare declared on Monday morning that India has overtaken the United States in terms of total coverage of the Covid-19 vaccination program.

This is despite the fact that the western nation kicked off its vaccination drive on 14th December last year, which is a good month one month before the commencement of India’s initiative on 16th January 2021.

India’s Covid-19 vaccination drive has received a major boost ever since the central government again took over the responsibilities for the same from 21st June onward.

Reflecting on India surpassing the US’ overall inoculation tally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, “India’s vaccination drive keeps gaining momentum! Congrats to all those who are driving this effort. Our commitment remains vaccines for all, free for all. सबको वैक्सीन, मुफ्त वैक्सीन।“
