Target population of18-44 year olds is approx 60 crore. Total jabs needed =120 crore.
Today India vaccinated in that category a grand total of
5,18,479 people.
At this rate....

Just to be clear - the point is the slow pace. Not whether we need to vaccinate all or 80% or 50% of the target group.
Pick any % and do the math. You want to vaccinate only 50%. Fine. That& #39;s 60 crore jabs.
Still we are doing just over 5 lakh a day.

Here& #39;s the supply picture for 45+ (vaccines procured by centre)
States have a somewhat higher balance now.
UP and Gujarat leading.
TN and Maharashtra behind them.
Based on this WB and Kerala have exhausted supplies - among the 7 states to receive central supplies soon.

But even this pace has slowed.
Even though we expanded the vaccine program on May 10, to include state procurement for 18-44, our daily average has dipped.
The last time we crossed 30 lakh doses/day was on Apr 26.

And there& #39;s no point venting on your state government.
States were told on April 19 that they were responsible for vaccination 18-44 years old starting May 1.
That& #39;s 11 days lead time.
All we can do now is urge governments to ramp up supply.

If you look at the absolute number of vaccine doses administered - we are on top of the list.
That& #39;s good work.
But as % of population it& #39;s a fraction. We have to solve for scale. To the extent we reasonably can.
