India achieved a major mile-stone in its battle againstCovid-19 as cumulative vaccinations in the country crossed the 100 crore mark on Thursday. After China, which has administered over 200 crore doses, India is only the second country to have reached the landmark of 100 crore jabs.
After a slow start, which saw it take 85 days to administer the first 10 crore (100 million) doses, India almost halved the time taken to reach the next 10 crore to 46 days. The drive picked up pace thereafter, taking 28 days for the next 10 crore. The shortest time taken to 10 crore was just 11 days (from 70 crore to 80 crore).
While it took India a total of 202 days to reach the 50 crore landmark after it began giving shots, it took the country just 76 days more to reach the 100 crore milestone. A record 2.5 crore doses were administered on September 17, 2021.
In cumulative numbers too, India ranks second to China in fully vaccinating over 28 crore of its population, at least 10 crore more than the US and equal to the fully immunised population of Japan, Germany, Russia, France and the UK put together.
Almost 75% of the eligible population has taken at least the first dose, with eight states and UTs achieving 100% coverage of the first dose. Four more states and UTs have more than 90% coverage of the first dose, according to government data.
