*Uttar Pradesh CM’s June Mandate: Tripling daily Covid vaccination rate*

A massive Covid vaccination drive began in the state on June 1, after CM announced ‘Mission June.’
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on June 4 had instructed the state officials to triple the state’s daily Covid-19 vaccination rate in a month.

Fresh directives to boost the immunisation drive were given by the state government. At a high-level Covid-19 review meeting, Yogi Adityanath instructed that “Every action necessary should be done to increase the daily vaccination capacity.”

He further gave directives to boost the current vaccination capacity by three times, within a month.” Currently, the vaccination drive is being carried out at 6,000 locations, and more than 14.68 lakh people have been vaccinated since the commencement of the mission.

According to this calculation, the three-fold goal would have entailed more than 10 lakh vaccines a day, however, the UP government under the able leadership of Yogi Adityanath overachieved the set target.
