MUMBAI: The city has fully immunised 50% of its 92.4 lakh adult population, becoming the first district in Maharashtra to reach that mark. Over 44.6 lakh people have got both the shots, while nearly 86 lakh people (93%) have been given at least one shot.

BMC commissioner I S Chahal said he was optimistic that all of Mumbai’s adult population will be vaccinated with at least one shot by October-end.
The highest coverage has been among senior citizens where over 76% are fully vaccinated and over 100% have got at least one shot. In the 45-59 group, over 100% have got the first dose and 71% have been fully vaccinated. In the 18-44 group, 82% have been covered with at least the first dose. Since people living in adjoining areas also get vaccinated in the city, the age categories have over 100% coverage.

India's COVID vaccinations hit 2 billion, new cases at four-month high​

Reuters

NEW DELHI, July 17 (Reuters) - The Indian government's COVID-19 vaccinations hit 2 billion on Sunday, with booster doses underway for all adults, as daily infections hit four-month high, official data showed.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi extolled the vaccination milestone, celebrating the world's largest and longest-running inoculation campaign, which began last year.

"India creates history again!" Modi said in a tweet. The prime minister has faced allegations from the opposition of mishandling the pandemic that experts claim killed millions. The government rejects the claims.

Health ministry data shows the COVID death toll at 525,709, with 49 deaths recorded overnight.

New cases rose 20,528 over the past 24 hours, the highest since Feb. 20, according to data compiled by Reuters.

The country of 1.35 billion people has lifted most COVID-related restrictions, and international travel has recovered robustly.

Some 80% of the inoculations have been the AstraZeneca (AZN.L) vaccine made domestically, called Covishield. Others include domestically developed Covaxin and Corbevax, and Russia's Sputnik V.

The federal government has been accelerating its booster campaign to avert the spread of infections, edging higher in the eastern states of Assam, West Bengal and Karnataka in the south.

Are there actually nations that can plausible state or proof - that these vaccinations have the desired effect?
