Indore city, which made the national record for immunising most number of people against Covid-19 in 24 hours on June 21, has now become the first major city to inoculate nearly 70 per cent of its population who have received their first dose. According to official figures, Indore has so far administered 22,02,251 doses including 19,17,527 first timers and 2,84,724 fully vaccinated people. With this, nearly 70% people in the financial capital of Madhya Pradesh have received their first dose against coronavirus.

Similarly, Madhya Pradesh had also inoculated nearly 17 lakh vaccines the same day when the Centre’s revised guidelines for its vaccination policy came into effect. On June 23, 1,60,503 people received either their first or second dose of the vaccine in Indore.
