Delhi government has informed the Central Government that the capital needs 45 lakh doses of coronavirus vaccines next month to keep up the current inoculation rate of 1.5 lakh jabs daily, party leader Atishi said on Sunday. "More than 45 lakh doses will be needed if the pace of vaccination increases," the AAP MLA said.

The AAP leader said that the national capital has administered a record 2.07 lakh vaccine doses on Saturday, of which over 1.50 lakh were given to youths.
