Centre asks states to make district specific plans to speed up COVID vaccination as only 38 per cent fully inoculated.
NEW DELHI: With the number of balance and unutilised Covid-19 vaccine doses piling up to 18 crore, the Centre has sent a fresh reminder to states to come up with district-specific action plans and raise the inoculation coverage in areas most vulnerable.
So far, the Union health ministry has provided more than 121 crore doses to the states. There are 18.04 crore doses available with states.
Overall, nearly 1.11 billion shots have been administered in the country so far.The reminder comes as the government launches a door-to-door vaccination campaign targeting adults who have missed out on the second dose and also those who have not taken their first dose.
