India set to reach 100 crore vaccine doses mark next week

下周，印度的疫苗接种将达到10亿剂次

NEW DELHI: India is set to reach yet another milestone next week of administering over 100-crore vaccine doses even as the government plans to involve NGOs and the private sector to mark the achievement and end vaccine hesitancy through spreading awareness.

新德里：下周，印度将达到另一个里程碑，新冠疫苗接种量将超过10亿剂次。为了实现这一成就，政府让非政府组织和私营部门参与进来，并通过宣传消除人们对接种疫苗的犹豫。

Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Wednesday said the country will produce over 28 crore doses in October as it continues to ramp up supplies.

印度卫生部长曼苏克·曼达维亚周三表示，随着供应继续增加，印度10月份将生产超过2.8亿剂疫苗。

In an interaction with reporters, the minister said nearly 73% of the adult population has received a single dose of the jabs and around 29% both doses. Of the 28 crore doses to be available this month, up from more than 22 crore in September, nearly 22 crore will be Covishield and six crore Covaxn. Also, nearly 60 lakh DNA jabs will be produced, he said.

在与记者的互动中，这位部长说，印度近73%的成年人接种了1剂疫苗，约29%的成年人接种了两剂疫苗。在本月将供应的2.8亿剂疫苗中(高于9月的2.2亿剂)，近2.2亿剂将是Covishield, 6000万剂是Covaxn。此外，他说，将生产近600万剂DNA疫苗。

With around 97 crore vaccine doses administered so far, the numbers are expected to reach the 100-crore milestone next week, likely on October 19 or 20, he said. “No other country has matched the speed and scale with which India is carrying out the vaccination drive. Besides, the 100 crore vaccine doses feat will be celebrated across the country to inspire the remaining people to come forward for vaccination,” an official said. Official sources said as of now, the health ministry has no plans to push booster doses as expert opinion on the matter is yet to be sought. They also expressed satisfaction at the overall vaccination programme, saying hardly any state is now complaining about lack of vaccines. “All states have vaccinated over 60% of their population,” an official said.

他说，到目前为止，印度完成了大约9.7亿剂疫苗的注射，预计下周，可能在10月19日或20日，疫苗接种数量将达到10亿剂的里程碑。

“没有那个国家的疫苗接种速度和规模能与印度相媲美。此外，印度将在全国各地庆祝接种10亿剂疫苗的壮举，以激励剩下的人来接种疫苗，”一位官员说。

官方消息称，截至目前，印度卫生部还没有计划推动接种加强针，还没有征求专家的意见。

他们还对整个疫苗接种计划表示满意，称现在几乎没有哪个邦抱怨缺乏疫苗。

一位官员说：“所有邦都完成了60%以上人口的疫苗接种。”

Asked about the status of Covaxn’s acceptance in other countries, an official said the WHO nod for it is expected soon and that over 12 countries have already recognised it.

当被问及其他国家对Covaxn的认可情况时，一名官 员表示，世界卫生组织预计很快就会认可，目前已有超过12个国家认可。

Tremendous job by MODI govt ..

On the other hand .. unnecessary DOUBTS RAISED by opposition have only contributed in the DELAYED WHO APPROVAL of our indigenous vaccine - COVANE..

.. this is their only contribution in our entire vaccination process.

莫迪政府付出了巨大的努力。另一方面，反对派提出的不必要的怀疑，只会导致世卫组织推迟批准我们的本土疫苗——COVANE。 这是他们在我们整个疫苗接种过程中的唯一“贡献”。

amazing work central govt. The second wave was brutal from March- June for all Indians. However with this record vaccination drive we have averted the third wave and saved so many lives. On children age 5-12 not quite sure they should be vaccinated .

印度政府干得好。对所有印度人来说，从3月到6月的第二波疫情是残酷的。然而，通过这一创纪录的疫苗接种运动，我们避免了第三波疫情，挽救了许多生命。对于5-12岁的孩子，不确定是否应该接种疫苗。
