New Delhi: The cumulative COVID-19 vaccine doses administered in the country has crossed 90 crore, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Saturday.
The country-wide vaccination drive was rolled out on January 16 with healthcare workers (HCWs) getting inoculated in the first phase. The vaccination of frontline workers (FLWs) started on February 2.
“Shastri ji gave the slogan ”Jai Jawan – Jai Kisan”. Revered Atal ji added ”Jai Vigyan” and PM @Narendra Modi Ji gave the slogan ”Jai Anusandhan”. Today the result of anusandhan is this corona vaccine.#JaiAnusandhan,” Mandaviya tweeted.
