New Delhi: Officials in New Delhi rejoiced earlier this week when India hit a single-day record by administering more than 8 million COVID-19 vaccinations. But even this unprecedented pace may not be fast enough for a country just emerging from a devastating second wave to head off a third one, experts say. They also question whether this week s push averaging about 4.6 million doses a day, up from about 3 million for most of the past month, can be sustained. Despite halting all exports in April and benefiting from a huge vaccine producing industry, India has covered only 4% of its vast population, putting it far behind most of the West and China, which is deploying about 20 million doses a day. At this rate, some scientists say a third wave could arrive within months, driving fears the country may see a repeat of the recent nightmare of oxygen shortages and overwhelmed hospitals.
