Nearly 5.07 crore populations above the age of 18 have been immunized in the country with at least one dose and 1.99 crore has been fully vaccinated.
Overcoming MediaPersons here, Pandey said the country had set a target to manage 8 doses of crore vaccines at the end of December.
“During a special vaccine drive on Sunday, 8,246 motorcycle vaccination teams were declared across the country to manage the vaccine by reaching their door.
A survey is being carried out to identify people who have not taken their vaccine doses,” he added.
