‘Not trying to win a race with vaccinations’
New Delhi:12.03.2021
The health ministry on Thursday said the vaccination programme against Covid-19 is being ramped up adequately in a steady manner, even as the government’s efforts are not aimed at winning any race.
Asked if the pace of vaccination has dropped in last few days after achieving the milestone of administering 20 lakh does in a day on March 8, health secretary Rajesh Bhushan said, “What we are looking at is a steady increase. We are not trying to win a race.”
Talking about accelerating inoculations, Bhushan said on March 4, 10 lakh vaccines were administered in 24 hours, while on March 8, 20 lakh vaccines were given in 24 hours. TNN
