For the first time in India, fully vaccinated people have outnumbered the partially vaccinated people under the mass vaccination coverage in the country.

How to Identify Other Infections in COVID-19 Patients?
New technology will revolutionize the approach to prevention and treatment of serious infection in ICU and is particularly important for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

‘In India, healthcare workers are going door-to-door, looking out for people who are eligible for vaccination, especially focusing on districts where less than 50 percent of the population has been vaccinated.’

It has been achieved through 1,16,73,459 sessions out of which, 75,57,24,081 doses were administered as first dose and 38,11,55,604 doses were administered as second dose.

The number of fully vaccinated individuals which stands at 38,11,55,604, exceed those who have been administered a single dose -- at 37,45,68,477.

"This feat has been made possible due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'Jan-Bhagidari' and 'Whole of Government Approach', people's faith and confidence in the government, and the ongoing 'Har Ghar Dastak' campaign which has seen tremendous response from various parts of the country," Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said.

Technique to Detect False Positive COVID-19 Results Discovered
A process to identify potential false-positive COVID-19 results has been discovered. The method, used at MU Health Care, could help other laboratories prevent unnecessary quarantining and repeated testing of people who are not actually infected.

Lauding the collective spirit of the country on this achievement, Mandaviya in a tweet appealed to all eligible citizens to get vaccinated. "We will win the battle against Covid-19 together," he stated.

The Union Health Minister expressed confidence that the country will have vaccinated every Indian by the end of the month-long 'Har Ghar Dastak' campaign.

COVID-19 Booster Shot is Extremely Beneficial for Cancer Patients
New research gives data-driven answers about when vaccine protection from COVID-19 wanes for individuals with the compromised immune system and offers clear guidance about the necessity of vaccination for people with cancer.

"The nation achieved the distinction of having administered 100 crore doses on October 21 this year. Subsequently, PM Modi gave a clarion call and launched the 'Har Ghar Dastak' campaign on November 3 to knock every door and reach out to every household and immunize every citizen against Covid-19 in the spirit of Antyodaya," Mandaviya said.

The month long 'Har Ghar Dastak' vaccination campaign aims to ensure that all the adult population is covered with the first dose of Covid vaccine, while those who are due for the second doses are motivated to take the second dose.
