Covid-19 vaccine: India reaches 100 million doses in 85 days

DELHI: India’s total vaccinations crossed 100 million on Saturday. Total active cases breached 1 million again with over 152,000 new ones on Saturday. At an average of over 3.5 million a day over the past week, India’s vaccination rollout is among the highest in the world. However, given the large population, it’s not enough to make a dent in the pandemic. Less than 10% of the population — most have received only the first dose—has been covered in close to three months.
