China administered 91.35 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines by March 25, the National Health Commission said on Friday, up from a figure of about 85.86 million by March 24.

A Reuters calculation based on official data showed an additional figure of roughly 5.5 million doses given on Thursday, a sharp jump over the daily average of 2.6 million doses between March 21 and March 23.
