Himachal Pradesh Covid Vaccine: Himachal Pradesh has become the first state to achieve the target of vaccinating its eligible population with both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Union Sports and Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur on Sunday said that Himachal Pradesh has become the first state in the country to achieve the target of 100 per cent COVID-19 vaccination for its eligible population.
Anurag Thakur was at AIIMS Bilaspur for felicitating the COVID warriors for their contribution to the vaccination programme.
"Himachal Pradesh has become the first state to achieve the target of vaccinating its eligible population with both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. I am grateful to the Chief Minister, the Union Health Minister, citizens of Himachal Pradesh, frontline workers and COVID warriors who all came forward during the times of crisis for the vaccination and did the work of making Himachal number one in vaccination," said Mr Thakur.
Mr Thakur pointed out that the vaccine wastage in the state had been almost zero per cent. "While on the other hand, vaccines were found lying in garbage cans in Rajasthan and these vaccines provided by the government were found in private hospitals," he added.
