Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the “world’s largest” vaccination campaign today as the populous nation tries to bring the Covid-19 pandemic under control starting with two locally-manufactured shots.
On the first day, around 100 people will be voluntarily vaccinated in each of the 3,006 centres in the country, the government said this week, calling it the start of the biggest such campaign in the world.
“This will be the world’s largest vaccination programme covering the entire length and breadth of the country,” Modi’s office said in a statement this week, according to Reuters.
