COVID-19: Maharashtra completes 10 crore vaccine doses
Thane/UNI: A member of the Supreme Court-appointed National COVID-19 Task Force has praised Maharashtra on reaching the landmark 10 crore vaccination mark on Tuesday.
"It was a proud moment when India completed administration of 100 crore doses towards the end of October 2021. Standing in the second week of November, today, Maharashtra has completed 10 crore vaccine doses to eligible beneficiaries. This is undoubtedly a milestone... The state has successfully administered the first dose to 6.8 crore people and 3.2 crore have been fully vaccinated," said Dr Rahul Pandit, member of the Task Force, in a statement here.
"This accomplishment is a fruition of tremendous hard work, strategic acumen and timely intervention by the state & civic authorities, governing bodies, healthcare workers, community caregivers and responsible citizens. However, we must not let our guards down, and honour the efforts made across the past 19 months. If precautions and COVID19 appropriate behaviour is not maintained, cases will be on the rise again. Celebrations like Christmas, New Year are coming up soon, stay alert and be cautious... Let’s be responsible and encourage and help more and more people to get vaccinated,” he added.
