The average daily COVID-19 vaccination rate in the first 10 days of June was relatively higher than the levels recorded initially in May after India opened up inoculation for all adults. However, it continued to be lower than the levels registered in the first 10 days of April. While it picked up for most major States in the first 10 days of June compared to the last 10 days of May, it fell in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
