New Delhi: Nearly 86 lakh COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered across the country in the last 24 hours.
This is the highest single-day coverage till now, on Day One of centre’s new vaccination policy roll-out.
Data on the government’s CoWin website showed a total of 85,96,807 vaccine shots were administered on Monday.
Today’s record-breaking vaccination numbers are gladdening. The vaccine remains our strongest weapon to fight COVID-19. Congratulations to those who got vaccinated and kudos to all the front-line warriors working hard to ensure so many citizens got the vaccine.
Well done India!

The centre started providing vaccines free of charge to all above 18 from Monday and took back control of vaccination from states, reversing a policy change that was enforced just about a month ago.
