20 per cent of Delhi’s 18-44 population vaccinated against Covid-19: Atishi

NEW DELHI: Twenty per cent of people in the 18-44 age group in Delhi have been vaccinated against COVID-19 despite the inoculation centres for this category remaining closed for several days due to the non-availability of doses, AAP MLA Atishi said on Monday.

She, however, said the city is again facing a shortage of vaccines and some of the inoculation centres for the 18-44 age group will be shut on Tuesday.

“So far, 20 per cent of Delhi’s young population has been vaccinated (one dose) despite the inoculation centres remaining closed for many days due to the shortage of doses,” Atishi said during an online briefing.

According to government data, 13,66,731 first doses and 99,046 second doses have been administered to people in the 18-44 age group in Delhi.
