Mumbai: It has put a question mark on the state’s ambitious plan to vaccinate all eligible populations with a single shot in the next two weeks. Despite the start of the Har Ghar Dastak campaign, there has only been a slight uptick in daily immunization numbers.

Only 13.88 lakh jabs were administered from October 30 to November 5, followed by 27.2 lakh during November 612 -- both figures being the lowest in at least the last 11 weeks. The end of festivities pushed up daily vaccination in the last week, but the numbers have been lower than the weekly jabs administered during the August-September period, the data showed. Compared to October when there were 1.5 crore vaccinations, this month has seen barely 44.32 lakh administered in the first fortnight.
