Kejriwal said that the Delhi Government is going to increase the vaccination centres from 100 to 300 to achieve the capacity of applying three lakh vaccines daily. He said that if the entire Delhi has to be vaccinated in three months, we need a monthly dose of 80 to 85 lakh vaccines.
The Chief Minister said that the Central Government has always extended its help and expressed hope that it will do the same in this case too. “The vaccination drive in Delhi is in full swing. “Since the day the vaccination drive began for those below the age of 45, I have witnessed great enthusiasm amongst the youth, many of whom are getting vaccinated. The people are visibly happy with the arrangements made by the Government. We have made these arrangements in around 100 schools and are going to increase it about 250-300 schools,” he said.
