The pace of vaccination may fall considerably short of the requirement to avoid another upsurge of Covid infections

The pace of vaccination may fall considerably short of the requirement to avoid another upsurge of Covid infections. It has been estimated that to prevent a third Covid wave India must inoculate at least 60 per cent of its over 1.3 billion population with both doses of a vaccine by December this year.
To achieve this India must administer the injections to 8.6 million people every single day.
However, for a little more than a week now, the country has been vaccinating at a rate of about 4 million people a day, a shortfall of 4.6 million.
It must be noted that with every day's shortfall, the required number of vaccinations per day, rises.

PM Modi reviewed the Covid situation in the country; expressed satisfaction at the pace of vaccination but called for the outreach to be widened.
