The Finance Ministry has made a strong pitch to vaccinate 70 crore people with at least the first dose by September in order to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 and regain the momentum of economic recovery.
As meeting the target would require 93 lakh doses to be delivered a day from now, the Ministry has suggested making vaccination a 24/7 activity, particularly in August and September, when vaccine supplies are expected to improve. “…This can enable the ambitious, but possible, throughput of 1 crore shots a day,” it said.
