India administers 100 crore COVID-19 vaccine, Amit Malviya thanks PM Modi ahead of feat

As India completes the administering of 100 crore COVID-19 vaccine doses, various officials have been praising the feat. Ahead of the completion of the milestone figure, BJP leader and the party's IT Cell chief Amit Malviya appreciated the government for completing the landmark achievement. Amit Malviya lauded the Centre along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the ‘incredible feat’ in terms of vaccination.

Amit Malviya thanked PM Modi for the landmark vaccination achievement. He went on to hit out at the opposition claiming that they promoted vaccine hesitancy. He used the hashtag ‘Vaccine Century’ while making his appreciation post. According to government data, around 75 per cent of all adults have received the first dose of the vaccine and 31 per cent have been administered both doses. 

“In a few hours from now, India would have administered 100 crore vaccine doses. An incredible feat. The momentum picked up after central government took charge following dismal effort by States, opposition promoting vaccine hesitancy and worse. Thank you PM Modi. #VaccineCentury,” the BJP's IT cell chief tweeted. Meanwhile, the Centre is now in plans to host a series of events to celebrate the completion of administering the landmark number of COVID-19 vaccine doses.
