India sets new record, administered 1 out of 4 Covid vaccine doses globally on Friday

India achieved a new Covid-19 vaccination target by administering 1 crore jabs on Friday. The nation accounted for nearly 23 per cent vaccine doses that were administered globally on August 27.

In the week beginning on August 23, nearly four crore vaccine doses are administered daily worldwide. A sudden spike in the number of doses administered in India on August 27, slightly more than one crore to be precise, pushed the global average beyond four crore. Congratulations, India, on reaching this tremendous milestone. The collective efforts of the government, R&D community, vaccine manufacturers, and millions of health workers have made this feat possible. @PMOIndia @MoHFW_INDIA https://t.co/cmvQiAfSZG India accounted for nearly one out of every four or 23 per cent vaccine doses administered globally on Friday. In other words, India's share in daily global vaccine doses administered is much more than its share in the world's population.
