Today, on the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a new record of corona vaccination has been set. As many as 20 million people were vaccinated by 5 pm on Friday. The BJP had set a double target for vaccinations on Modi's birthday.

Health Minister Mansukh Mandvia said the speed of 10 million doses given today was the highest ever. He said on Twitter that more than one crore doses of corona vaccine had been given by 1.30 pm on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday. Which is the fastest ever.

It may be mentioned that more than one crore doses were given earlier on September 6, August 31 and August 4. Just yesterday, Mandvia appealed for a massive vaccination campaign on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday. He said large-scale vaccinations would be the right gift for him.

The BJP also appealed to all its units to take a large number of people to vaccination centers. At the same time, the total number of doses given in the country so far has reached 25 million.

It may be mentioned that a nationwide vaccination campaign was launched in the country from January 15.
