At this pace, it’ll take 31 years to finish Covid vax drive in Jharkhand

At the current pace of the inoculation drive, it will take about 31 years for the last eligible person in Jharkhand to receive an anti-Covid vaccine. At present, the average rate of vaccination is 2,957 persons a day and the drive is supposed to be conducted four days a week. Considering around 1.96 crore people who are in the age and health bracket to receive the vaccine, it will take another 6,560 days for the drive to be complete. With the schedule of four days a week, it translates into 31 years.
