BHOPAL: As many as 29,285 Covid-19 vaccine doses were administered in the state on Monday, said health bulletin released by the directorate of health services.
Lesser number of vaccine doses were administered in the state as it was a holiday for Krishna Janmasthami and mass vaccination was not carried out at the government hospitals, but vaccination was only carried out at private facilities.
With these doses being administered on Monday, a total of 4.55 crore vaccine doses have been administered in the state so far.
Among the districts where maximum doses were administered on Monday was Indore where 25,623 doses were administered. In Bhopal, around 1,000 doses were administered.
The state government has set a target of administering at least one dose to all the 5.5 crore eligible beneficiaries of the state by the end of September this year.
Vaccination of pregnant women had also started in the state from July 23 onwards. However, the vaccination of expecting women will be carried out on Tuesdays and Fridays when only universal vaccination is carried out, said sources.
