#110​ - India's COVID-19 Vaccination Drive | Aashish Chandorkar | Vivek Khaitan | Amit Paranjape

India reported over 15 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus  (COVID-19) as of April 18, 2021. Out of these, over 12.9 million  patients had recovered, while 178 thousand cases were fatal. The number  of people infected with the virus was growing and the government had  swung into action to curtail further spread of the outbreak. Globally,  over 141 million cases of the coronavirus were reported as of April 18,  2021.   India expanded its vaccination programme to include all adults over the  age of 18 starting 1 May amid a deadly second wave of infections. India  has so far administered more than 127 million doses of a coronavirus  vaccine in what is the world's largest inoculation drive.   India launched its vaccination drive on 16 January, restricting it to  healthcare workers and frontline staff - a sanitation worker became the  first Indian to receive the vaccine. The drive gradually expanded to  other age groups - from 1 May, those above 18 years will be the latest  group to become eligible.   In this special live episode of Bharatvaarta, we are decoding India's  massive COVID-19 vaccination drive. Joining us will be Aashish  Chandorkar, Vivek Khaitan, and Amit Paranjape to delve deep into the  unknown variables of the world's biggest vaccination drive.
