Indore: As many as 58,841 people were inoculated at 287 sites across the district on Saturday.

“We’d targeted over 1 lakh people for vaccination, but we could vaccinate only over 55,000 people. People have shown a good response to the drive and, now, we’ll switch our focus to inoculating people with the second dose of vaccine as about 94 per cent of the total targeted population has already been inoculated with the first dose,” immunisation officer Dr Tarun Gupta said.

Over 40,000 people above the age of 18 years were vaccinated, while over 10,000 people above the age of 45 years and over 4,400 people above the age of 60 years were vaccinated.

Fortunately, no AEFI case was reported.
