Apollo Hospitals Group has completed one million vaccines across 80 locations in India.
Shobana Kamineni, Executive Vice-chairperson, Apollo Group of Hospitals said, “We have prioritised frontline workers, high-risk population and corporate employees across the country. As the largest vaccinator in the private sector, we will continue to support the Union and state governments in the fight against this pandemic. We will further ramp up our immunisation programme. We took three weeks to do the first million, in June we will do a million every week and double that in July. We are on track to complete 20 million jabs by September 2021. We would like to thank the Union and state governments and the vaccine manufacturers of Covishield and Covaxin for their support.”
According to Kamineni, Sputnik the third vaccine approved in India will be available through the Apollo system from the 2nd week of June.
She added, “We believe that no one is safe till everyone is vaccinated.”
