Posted on 18th Sep 2021 by rohit kumar

India achieved an important achievement in the fight against Coronavirus on 17 September (Friday). Over 2.50 crore vaccine doses were administered across the country yesterday. That is, in a single day, India gave a dose of vaccine to the same number of people as the entire population of Australia. This achievement of India is being praised all over the world. Media groups have also given priority to this news. While news agency Reuters called it a birthday gift from India to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the New York Times spoke of India's vaccination campaign getting back on track after recovering from the initial setbacks.

 

What did the American media say?

The New York Times said in its article, "India's efforts to vaccinate its population hit a milestone on Friday. This is two and a half times India's daily vaccination regimen and seven times the number of vaccines being given three months ago." India has so far administered 793 million vaccine doses after some setbacks in the initial stage of vaccination. Vaccinating a 1.4 billion population was going to prove to be a challenge anyway, but the pace of vaccination in India in the last weeks has increased. The pace has caught on."

 

American media group NPR put forward data regarding vaccination. It said that India went through a dangerous corona wave a few months ago and stopped exporting the vaccine keeping in mind its population. Now India's vaccination campaign is gaining momentum after the cases come down.

 

British media also praised

Meanwhile, the British media groups BBC and the Independent also carried news on vaccination records. The BBC wrote, "On the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra's birthday, record-breaking vaccination was done in India. India aims to give the vaccine to all countrymen by 2021. However, experts believe that a record-breaking vaccination for a day or two is encouraging. There may be talk, but the rate of such vaccination should be maintained. All this will depend on the availability of vaccine doses in the coming times and the interest of people to get vaccinated.

 

The Independent wrote, "This vaccination campaign is part of the BJP's three-week program. It will end on October 7, the day Prime Minister Modi became the Chief Minister of Gujarat for the first time 20 years ago. BJP-ruled states also participate in the vaccination campaign." Loudly told to contribute."

News agency Reuters said about this record, "The number of vaccine doses India gave in a single day on Friday was three times the average dose being administered in a day last month. India has so far applied 792 million doses. Which is the highest after China. Reuters, citing sources, claimed that the priority of the government is still to vaccinate the countrymen. However, India's vaccine production capacity has now exceeded two billion doses per year.

 

On the other hand, news agency AFP said, "For India's record-breaking vaccination, officials have set up camps from stadiums, shopping malls, clinics, and other places. Vaccination has been slow since the campaign started in January, but its pace has increased in the past weeks." It's been pretty quick."
