Chennai, Oct 15 (UNI) Apollo Hospitals today announced that
it was prepared to administer one million COVID-19 vaccines

battle against the dreaded virus.
The group will leverage its robust pan India web of 19 medicine

400-plus clinics, 500 corporate health centers, 4,000 pharmacies
along with its omni-channel digital platform Apollo 24x7 to ensure
massive administration capacity of COVID-19 vaccines.

About 30 per cent of India was roughly 30 minutes away from an
Apollo pharmacy, which could then guarantee safe and widespread

vaccine cold chain for supply and gearing up all its facilities for
efficient and fast administration with the highest safety standards,
for up to one million doses per day'', she added.
