There are around 51 lakh people, including frontline and healthcare workers, who would receive the vaccine in the first phase. The process of identifying all those people is almost complete, “said the chief minister of Delhi. Arvind Kejriwal.
Currently, Delhi has the capacity to store around 74 lakh doses of the vaccine.
