BHUBANESWAR: Even as Bhubaneswar is touted as the first city in the country to have achieved 100 per cent (pc) vaccination of its targeted population with at least a single dose, it confoundingly has not yet seen a proportionate drop in new cases. The Capital city continues to report an average 350 new infections a day.
Of the targeted 8,42,220 beneficiaries, 9,80,611 have got their first dose with an achievement of 116 per cent (pc) and 5,34,892 are fully vaccinated covering around 63.5 pc of the target till Friday. However, data indicated that more than 1.3 lakh people from outside Bhubaneswar have got the shots here. The number could be more as there is no clear data on how many among the single-dose vaccinated are locals.
