AHMEDABAD: On Monday, 39,500 persons were vaccinated in the city. The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) on Monday claimed that a steady supply of 35,000 to 36,000 doses a day is being received by the civic body over the last two days.
“Till Saturday we had been receiving 17,000 to 25,000 doses a day because of which only 115 to 120 vaccination centres used to be active,” said a senior AMC health official.
The AMC has been assured by the state government that a steady supply of 35,000 vaccine dose will be provided to the civic body for the next few weeks.
“If we maintain a vaccination drive of 39,000 to 42,000 a day for the next two months we will have 92% of the city’s population under vaccination cover. This is including the two non-vaccination days declared by the state government,” said a senior AMC health official. Though one of the highest total doses of Covid-19 vaccination were recorded in Ahmedabad on July 3 – with 45,444 vaccine doses administered — the numbers sharply dropped by 20% within the next 15 days in spite of a regular supply. “The city's vaccination trend reveals that within 15 days vaccination dropped by 20%. Our data shows that the average daily vaccinations dropped between June 26 and July 2 from 24,400 to 19,500,” added the AMC official.
