As India crosses over 143 crore vaccine doses, the sheer speed, scale and safety with which the drive has been conducted, has made the entire world take notice. Despite starting a month after the USA began its drive, India has managed to outpace the biggest economy of the world by administering more than twice the number of doses it has done so far. In the last week, an average of 948,921 doses per day was administered in the USA whereas India administered an average of about 60 lakh doses per day. In the USA, 83.9% of the eligible population has taken one dose.
