The Indian government is worried about people not taking COVID19 Second dose on time, and revealed that 11 million people who received the first dose of Covid-19 vaccination in India are yet to receive the second dose, despite the fact that the necessary gap between doses has elapsed. According to the most recent government data, released today.

According to the current statistics, more than 3.92 crore beneficiaries are more than six weeks late for their second dosage, 1.57 crore are four to six weeks late, and more than 1.50 crore are two to four weeks late for their second Covishield or Covaxin shot.

Also, over 3.38 crore people are up to two weeks overdue to becoming fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

This issue was discussed in a meeting chaired by Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya with health ministers and representatives of all states and Union territories on Wednesday. They were asked to focus on such beneficiaries who are overdue for their second dose, official sources said.

Over 3.38 crore people are up to two weeks overdue to becoming fully vaccinated.

The gap between the first and second dose is 12 weeks for Covishield and four weeks for Covaxin. Both doses are needed for adequate protection against severe COVID-19 infection and hospitalisation.

Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Bihar together account for around 49 per cent of such beneficiaries who are late for their second dose of vaccine.

The Union Health Ministry has also written to several states and UTs asking them to prioritise administering the second dose to beneficiaries who have not got themselves jabbed with the second shot even after the expiry of the prescribed interval between the two doses, sources said.

More than 76 per cent of India’s adult population has received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, with nine states and union territories administering the first dose to all eligible people.

The eleven states and UTs which completed second dose coverage to more than 50 per cent of eligible beneficiaries are Lakshadweep, Sikkim, Goa, Ladakh, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Daman and Diu, Arunachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir.

Over 32 per cent of the country”s around 94 crore adults have been administered both the doses, Health Ministry officials said, adding the cumulative doses administered in the country so far under the nationwide COVID-19 vaccination drive has exceeded 103.53 crore.
