India needs 87 lakh doses daily to stop the third wave of Corona's havoc, but...
- The government is busy speeding up the ongoing vaccination campaign against the coronavirus in India.
- Despite this, only more than 350 million doses of the vaccine have been given so far.
- It is estimated that India needs to have both doses of the vaccine to at least 60 % of its 130 crore-plus population by December this year to prevent the third Covid wave.
- In this sense, 86 lakh people will have to be vaccinated every day. For a little over a week now, about 40 lakh people are being vaccinated every day in the country.
- In this context, about 46 lakh people are being left out. At the same time, only 15 lakh people were given vaccine doses on Sunday, which is much less than the target of giving the vaccine to 71 lakh people per day.
