Uttar Pradesh will soon have 100 per cent of its population fully vaccinated against COVID-19, officials claimed here on Wednesday. The state has provided vaccine cover to nearly 99 per cent of its people in every category – health workers, frontline workers, senior citizens, adults, children in the age group 15-17, and children in the age group 12-14 –, an official statement by the Chief Minister’s PR team claimed.
