65 lakh vaccinated in Delhi, 16 lakh of them have got both doses

NEW DELHI: More than 65 lakh people have been vaccinated in Delhi, out of which more than 49 lakh people have received the first dose and nearly 16 lakh have been given both doses, Aam Aadmi Party MLA Atishi said on Sunday.
While there are 2.6 lakh vaccine doses available for the 18-44 age group, including one day’s stock of Covaxin and 13 Days stock of Covishield, there are no plans to start walk-in vaccination for this age group from Monday, as announced by the Centre.
“We have received communication from Government of India only this evening about walk-in vaccination for 18+, further plans for the same will now be made,” a Delhi government spokesperson said. Sources said that there have been no written communication and suddenly starting walk-in vaccination without arrangements would lead to rush at centres.
“Currently, the vaccination speed in Delhi has increased tremendously due to the availability of vaccine stocks. We have administered 65,14,825 doses, out of which 49,38,050 were first dose while 15,76,775 people have received both the doses in Delhi as of June 20,” the Kalkaji MLA said in a vaccination bulletin she released on Sunday.
Atishi said that on June 19, more than 85,000 people were vaccinated in Delhi, out of which 50,000 were from the 18-44 year category. She said that currently, 8.2 lakh vaccine doses are available in Delhi for 45 years and above category, out of which five days of Covaxin and 57 Days stock of Covishield are available.
She said that out of the 85,000 doses administered on Saturday, 50,000 doses were administered to the youth of Delhi.
