Seventy per cent of India’s adults have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 while 93 per cent received the first jab, said Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya while launching a postage stamp on indigenously developed vaccine Covaxin to mark one year of the inoculation drive.

“India has been able to achieve the milestone of administering over 156 crore doses despite such a huge population and diversity,” he said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also praised the health workers for the achievement.
