Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
India will take 12 years to vaccinate entire population, reach herd immunity in 8 years at current pace: Report
India has administered over 13 crore vaccine doses so far after beginning the drive in January. At the current pace, it will vaccinate 70% of the population in over 8 years to reach herd immunity.
hile India's vaccination drive began in January, the number of total doses administered across the country has crossed 13 crore as of now. At this pace, India would take over 8 years to vaccinate 70% of the population and thus achieve herd immunity.
And it would take 12 years to vaccinate the entire population. On Thursday, India marked a new record and posted over 3.14 lakh fresh cases in 24 hours, in what is the highest single-day tally in the world.
As of April 22, India has administered 13,23,30,644 doses of vaccine, beginning in January 2021. Starting May 1, India will start vaccinating all adults aged above 18 years.
So far, 1.1 crore doses of Covaxin have been administered while Covishield constitutes 90% of the vaccination drive with over 11.6 crore doses.
According to a report by BusinessToday.in, when 70% of the population is vaccinated, a country achieves herd immunity. And for India to reach that number, it would take another 8 years and 9 months going by the current pace of vaccination.
The report further said that till now, nearly 11% of the population has received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine while the second dose has reached only about 8%.
