MUMBAI: More than four crore people have been fully vaccinated in Maharashtra. The milestone was reached on Tuesday with 11.59 lakh vaccinations recorded on the day. It was the second day in a row that the state had clocked more than 11 lakh vaccinations after seeing a low turnout for almost two months.
The state has administered 11.42 crore doses. Of these, 7,42,87,818 (81%) have received at least one shot and 4,00,04,550 (44%) have got both doses.
Dr Pradeep Vyas, additional chief secretary, applauded the district officers and health volunteers for achieving the feat. The government aims at delivering at least the first shot to its entire eligible population before the end of the year. For that, it has to vaccinate another 1.71 crore people this month. On Tuesday, Mumbai administered 93,749 doses.
