Over 1.14 lakh people were vaccinated against COVID-19 in Delhi on May 7, a senior government official said on Saturday.
This is the highest number of people vaccinated in a day so far, said Ashish Kundra, officer on special duty (health).
As many as 1,14,657 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered on Friday, he said.
Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that Delhi has been vaccinating more than one lakh people every day. This includes around 50,000 people in the 18-44 age group and 50,000 aged 45 and above.
Delhi is not getting an adequate supply of vaccines. If it gets the required number of doses, then the government will be able to vaccinate all within three months, he said.
