Bhubaneswar heading towards meeting vaccination target by July 31

More than 50% of the eligible population given the jabs, says official

With the vaccination drive gaining speed across Odisha, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday exuded confidence that it would complete vaccinating all eligible population by July end. The fast-paced drive is likely to achieve the target of vaccinating 9 lakh population in a little over month — first among the urban centres in the country. The confidence stems from the fact that 8,47,004 persons have already taken the first dose, which is close to 95% of the targeted population.
