From the country 2.23 Crore Country, Thane, Nashik, Aurangabad, Jalgaon, Solapur, Nanded, and Ahmednagar have a population of 93.71 lakh above 18 individuals, who qualified to utilize free shots, but not yet advanced.
“These seven districts have a maximum population that is not vaccinated by the state.
We have focused on the use of interpersonal communication techniques and public education tools to motivate them to take a shot,” said the state immunization officer Sachin Desai.
The country has a population of around 9.14 crores above 18 individuals.
From them, around 6.90 crores have taken the first dose.

The growth of perception among the masses that the pandemic ends is one of the main obstacles that hold the state back from achieving 100% coverage of the first dose, experts said.
Seven districts collectively have an individual population of 2.9 crore, which qualifies for vaccines.
From them, 1,96,85,894 have taken the first dose, counting for 67% of the first dose vaccination until November 13.
