A Severe Vaccine Shortage Has Hobbled India’s Vaccination Drive. With A Steady Supply, We Could Have Vaccinated Half The Adult Population By Now

Timely vaccine orders would have saved many lives in second wave

In the four months since vaccination started on January 16, India has given 19.2 crore doses to 14.7 crore people. So, only 15% of the adult population has been fully or partially vaccinated.

Meanwhile, the target group for vaccination has expanded from 30 crore high-risk people to everyone above the age of 18 — altogether 94.5 crore adults. The gap between doses of the main vaccine, Covishield, has also been increased from 4 weeks to 12-16 weeks.

However, the pace of vaccination has slowed, averaging not more than 24.6 lakh in any 15-day period over the past 31 days. The record in the same period was 32 lakh on April 26. The all-time high for vaccines given in a single day in India is over 40 lakh doses on April 13.
