Maharashtra wants to vaccinate 6 to 7 lakh people against COVID-19 on a daily basis and to achieve the target, the state needs 40 to 45 lakh vaccine vials every week, health minister Rajesh Tope said on Thursday.
A large-scale vaccination will help to bring down the COVID-19 cases and stem its spread, he said.
Speaking to reporters here, he said, “Maharashtra wants to vaccinate 6 to 7 lakh persons on a daily basis, for which we need to receive 40-45 lakh vaccine vials on a weekly basis.” “If we manage to vaccinate so many people on a daily basis, it would be a major step in curbing the COVID-19 spread in the state,” Tope said.
Maharashtra is the worst-hit state in the country when it comes to cumulative infections and deaths due to COVID-19.
