SHILLONG, Dec 30: In spite of vaccine hesitancy, close to nine lakh eligible citizens in Meghalaya have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The vaccination drive has slowed down in the state due to the ongoing festive season.
As per data provided by the health department, a total of 12,33,676 people in the state have received their first dose while 8,84,759 have already received their second dose, as on Thursday.
The total doses administered till date is 21,18,435.
The government had earlier set a target of achieving 100% vaccination coverage with the first dose by Christmas but a large section of the population is yet to be vaccinated due to different reasons.
As per the website of the National Health Mission, close to 30,000 health workers in the state have received their second dose while around one lakh frontline workers in the state have been vaccinated with at least one dose so far.
