I congratulate India on this historic achievement, thank all the scientists, researchers and health workers who have contributed to this great undertaking despite numerous challenges, and congratulate Prime Minister Modi for his commitment to keeping everyone safe and healthy.

The vaccination drive is progressing at a rapid pace, indicating that everyone will be vaccinated with the first dose in the coming days. The second dose is available in sufficient quantities… The Prime Minister’s strong oversight of the vaccination program, encouraging scientists and preparing for the development of vaccines in the country will help build India’s image globally. It is a matter of pride that doctors and nurses are rapidly taking the vaccine to every corner of India.

India has achieved 1 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccination in less than 10 months. This shows our government’s commitment to the health and safety of everyone in the country. I sincerely thank Prime Minister Modi and express my gratitude to the healthcare workers and frontline workers.
