Andhra Pradeshachieved a major milestone in its Covid-19 vaccination effort by administering jabs to more than 13.2 lakh people in the mega vaccination drive conducted.
This is the highest-ever single-day vaccination total not only for Andhra Pradesh, but for any state in the country, since the roll out of the mass inoculation drive for the healthcare workers in the first phase on January 16.
Apart from the 45+ age group, special focus has been laid on vaccinating mothers having kids aged below five years on Sunday. The Covid-19 Paediatric Task Force has earlier recommended preferential vaccination to mothers as they may have to accompany the Covid-19 positive kids during their hospitalisation.
