New Delhi: India’s national vaccination drive completes eight months this week.
Consider the awesome and the complexity of the nation’s demographics, the advantages made in this period have been feasible.
Nearly half of all eligible adults have received at least one vaccine dose, which includes more than 90% of the elderly population (people aged 60 & above).
However, if the potential of the new Covid variant and the devastating second wave experience has taught us anything, India must increase vaccination to achieve Covid herd immunity as soon as possible.
In addition, the coverage of Indian vaccination is quite low compared to Western countries such as the US and UK.
Here is the main takeaways of the Indian vaccination program so far …
coverage of wise coverage vaccination throughout the state vis-a-vis population size has so far been uneven.
Countries such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal – all with a large population of adults – have given at least one dose just one third of people.
Maharashtra is the worst hit not far above with more than 40% of adults receive at least one dose.
On the brighter side, Kerala, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh all make progress that are worthy of vaccination.
Delhi has also discussed more than 56% of its people with at least one dose.
Hill stated like Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, where population size and low density, have given at least one dose to 70% and 90% of the community.
