India hits daily COVID-19 vaccination record
India recorded its highest-ever daily vaccination count on Monday as it opened up free shots to all adults.
The progress with inoculations came on International Yoga Day, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailing the practice’s “protective” properties against the coronavirus.
The country’s vaccination drive had significantly slowed in recent months due to a shortage of jabs and hesitancy, even as it battled a vicious surge in cases in April and May that overwhelmed the healthcare system in many places.
