In a huge effort to vaccinate its population, India has celebrated the landmark of administering 1 billion Covid shots. However, millions of Indians are still yet to receive their first dose.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the milestone: “India scripts history. We are witnessing the triumph of Indian science, enterprise and collective spirit of (1.3 billion) Indians.”
Photos uploaded to Modi’s account on the social media platform show him at a vaccination center at a hospital in the Indian capital.

Media outlet Times Now displayed the historic countdown, with its presenter claiming that the “super powers are all looking at India” as New Delhi passed the 1 billion-dose mark.
Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said he will launch a song and an audio-visual film at the Red Fort in New Delhi on Thursday in celebration of the historic moment.
India’s vaccination campaign got off to a slow start in the middle of January, but has since seen around three-quarters of its 944 million adults receiving at least the first dose, while 31% have received two shots.
Modi’s government wants all adults to be vaccinated this year, and has even released “a song that slays vaccine hesitancy,” along with a video that shows Indians being vaccinated.
A song that slays vaccine hesitancy!

India has so far reported 34.1 million Covid cases and over 452,000 deaths – most during the brutal second wave fueled by the Delta variant, which ran rampant through the country in April and May. However, a US-based think tank estimated that the nation’s Covid-19 death toll could be 10 times higher than reported, which the government has refuted.
