Vaccine Against COVID-19 India: As part of the National Vaccination Campaign. The government of India supports allied states and territories by providing them with a vaccine against COVID-19 free of charge affirms.
More than 129 million vaccine doses against COVID -19 have so far been made available to Union states and territories via free channels. In addition, through the direct public procurement category, the Union Health Ministry announced on Saturday.
In Union states and territories, more than 21.65 rupees and unused doses of the Covid vaccine are available, he said. The ministry said the union government was determined to accelerate the pace. And expand the coverage of COVID-19 vaccinations across the country.
In India, COVID is still slowing down. There was no increase in instances during the festival season. Including Durga Puja and Diwali, when big groups of Indians meet. Epidemiological models had indicated that the third wave would peak in October and November.
Daily new cases have decreased from a high of over 400,000 per day in May 2021 to less than 10,000 per day now.
While antibody tests may provide insight into why this is, we must not become complacent regarding vaccination rates. For example, in October, 97 percent of people in Delhi tested positive for antibodies, including 80 percent of youngsters. In addition, 95.3 percent of those who received the Indian version of the AstraZeneca vaccination Covishield and 93 % of those who received India’s indigenous vaccine Covaxin generated antibodies.
In late August, the WHO’s chief scientist stated that India seemed to be “approaching some level of endemicity.” Endemic is a disease’s persistent presence or typical predominance in a population. Within a geographic area, with predictable disease propagation and rates.
The availability of more vaccines has strengthened vaccination efforts and early visibility of vaccine availability into Union states. And territories to better plan and streamline the vaccine supply chain. In addition, as part of the national vaccination campaign. The Indian government supports allied states and territories by providing free vaccines against COVID-19.
