The Maharashtra government has claimed to have set a new record by inoculating over 10.96 lakh people against Covid-19 in a single day.
"The state achieved this feat with the network of 5,200 vaccination centres where 10,96,493 doses were given. This figure could go up as vaccination was going on at some centres till late evening," the state public health ministry said in a statement.
