New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday will chair a virtual review meeting with districts having low COVID-19 vaccination coverage after his return to India, his office said today.

The Prime Minister is currently visiting Rome, Italy and Glasgow, United Kingdom from Oct 29 to Nov 2 to attend the 16th G-20 Summit and the World Leaders’ Summit of COP-26, respectively

The meeting will focus on districts with less than 50 percent coverage of the first dose and low coverage of the second dose of the Covid vaccines, the notification said.

"Prime Minister will interact with District Magistrates of over 40 districts in Jharkhand, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, and other States with districts having low vaccination coverage. Chief Ministers of these States will also be present on the occasion," it said.

More than 32 percent of the country's, around 94 crore adults, have been administered both doses of coronavirus vaccine, Health Ministry officials have said.

In the G20 summit, PM Modi emphasised that India has administered more than 100 crore (1 billion) doses and is ready to produce over 5 billion Covid vaccine by the end of the next year to help the world fight against the pandemic.

China, the only country to produce more vaccines than India, has fully vaccinated some 1.05 billion, or 75 percent of its citizens, as of late September.
