Union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan held a meeting via video conference with health ministers of 9 States and UTs to review the prevailing Covid situation and progress of vaccination drive in their respective regions. He said, "I'd like to emphasise that we need to step up Covid vaccination. Whichever vaccines are available to us, we have to give them as fast as possible. In the coming months, there'll be a significant increase in production capacity in the country."
