"India surpassed its own record by achieving the target of 200 crore vaccines in just 18 months. Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, the minister of health, sent his sincere congratulations to every citizen for this success in a video greeting.

Digital Desk: India has administered 2 billion doses of the coronavirus vaccine one year after initiating the world's largest coronavirus immunisation programme, marking a landmark accomplishment. In response to increasing concerns about fresh Covid outbreaks, the country has been striving to scale up vaccine efforts. While France has been at the top of the global dashboard, Asia's Japan has recently seen a considerable rise in cases.

Soon after the 200 billionth dose was administered, PM Modi tweeted: "India creates history once more! Thank you for your congratulations as India has now administered 200 crore vaccine shots, a historic milestone. Proud of individuals who contributed to India's vaccination campaign's record-breaking speed and scope. This has helped the battle to combat COVID-19 on a global scale.

"India surpassed its own record by achieving the target of 200 crore vaccines in just 18 months. Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, the minister of health, sent his sincere congratulations to every citizen for this success in a video greeting.

India is about to pass a key milestone, but concern has been raised about the booster dose coverage. Only 8% of the country's total population, according to government data released earlier this week, has so far used a third attempt to attack Covid. A nationwide 75-day programme delivering free booster shots at government buildings was launched on Friday in an effort to motivate citizens.

Additionally, the advertising honours India's 75th anniversary of independence, which takes place the following month.

As India moved closer to fulfilling the objective, the government installed a digital clock on Saturday that was moving backwards to demonstrate how many immunisation shots were still required to do so.

Following Sunday's accomplishment, Twitter was inundated with remarks. "With Covid, India has surpassed the 200 crore vaccination threshold. Due to PM Narendra Modi ji's leadership, a historic event as well as an inspirational journey were made possible. We appreciate the dedication of our medical personnel in the fight against COVID "A minister for the union, Bhagwanth Khuba, wrote.

India has the second-highest number of cases worldwide, behind the United States, at 4,37,50,599. For the past four days, the nation has been tracking more than 20,000 cases per day.
