Al Jazeera
So far, India has vaccinated only about 1 in 25 people, compared with nearly 1 in 2 in the UK and 1 in 3 in the US.
Many Indian state leaders have asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to open up vaccinations to most of the country’s hundreds of millions of adults, following a second surge in infections that has eclipsed the first wave. India reached the grim record of 100,000 daily infections for the first time on Monday. On Tuesday, the country reported 96,982 cases. The country, the world’s biggest vaccine maker, this month expanded its vaccination programme to include everyone above the age of 45. So far it has vaccinated only about 1 in 25 people, compared with nearly 1 in 2 in the United Kingdom and 1 in 3 in the United States.
