Singapore, April 11 (ANI): With vaccinations against the COVID-19 well underway around the world, many are hoping that leisure and regular business travel will soon resume.
According to government data compiled by the Our World in Data project at the University of Oxford, as of April 9, 6.2 per cent of Indians have received at least one vaccination shot whereas Singapore has vaccinated 19.3 per cent of its 5.8 million population with at least one dose of the vaccine as of April 6.
Singapore will have the capacity to vaccinate its entire population by the third quarter of this year but expect that the rollout will not be completed until the end of the year as some are still hesitant to take the vaccine.
