In a major feat for India, the health authorities administered 4.7 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in a record single day, Union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan on Monday informed on Twitter that world's largest vaccine drive blazes ahead, firing on all cylinders. A record-breaking 47 lakh Covid-19 vaccine doses administered so far on Day 1. This achievement followed soon after the centralised free vaccination policy came into effect in the country, under which the government is providing Covid-19 vaccine free-of-cost to all citizens above the age of 18.
