56,745 instances are now active in India, which represents 0.13 percent of all cases. At the moment, the recovery rate is 98.68%. The number of recoveries increased to 9,651 on the previous day, bringing the total to 4,38,65,016.

The government reported that more than 201.88 crore vaccines have already been given out as part of the statewide COVID-19 vaccination campaign.

The Union Government is dedicated to stepping up and broadening the COVID-19 vaccination programme nationwide. On January 16, 2021, the nationwide COVID-19 immunisation campaign began.

On June 21, 2021, the new phase of COVID-19 vaccination universalism began. The availability of more vaccinations, improved visibility of vaccine availability to States and UTs to enable better planning by them, and streamlining of the vaccine supply chain have all increased the vaccination effort.

The Government of India has been assisting the States and UTs by giving them free COVID vaccines as part of the national vaccination push. The Union Government will purchase and provide (free of charge) to States and UTs 75% of the vaccinations being produced by the country’s vaccine manufacturers as part of the new phase of the COVID19 vaccination drive.
