New Delhi: A rapid scale-up of Covid-19 vaccine availability from next month should ensure the current crunch, particularly for the 18-44 age group, will ease by July, following which it will be possible to inoculate India’s entire adult population of around 94 crore by this December, government sources say. “We have all expectations and are fully confident of being able to achieve the goal of vaccinating the above 18 population by yearend,” said a senior official.
The shots can be administered to everyone willing as there will be no shortfall in the number of jabs, sourced mainly from Indian manufacturers. Giving a break-up of anticipated vaccine availability, the official said the number is expected to be 8.5 crore in May, 10 crore in June, 15 crore in July, 36 crore in August, 50 crore in September, 56 crore in October, 59 crore in November and 65 crore in December.
