NAGPUR: The latest figures of vaccination coverage show a fast improvement as compared to earlier two weeks.

Latest figures show that more than 10,000 ‘latecomers’ have received their first dose of vaccine between June 4 and 17. Near 45,000 have rushed for the second dose while above 32,000 in Nagpur division got the third dose (precautionary) in the last two weeks. This number used to be less than 5,000 per week till the last two weeks of May when cases were significantly down.
