India’s vaccination numbers plunged to a near-two-month low of 1.56 million jabs on Tuesday, days after the new inoculation phase started on May 1.
The country had been consistently administering 3-3.5 million vaccine doses daily before May 1, when the immunisation drive was opened to those 18 and above and states and the private sector asked to procure vaccines directly from manufacturers.
