Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised this feat, saying that the country “written history.” “We are witnessing the triumph of Indian science, enterprise and collective spirit of 130 crore Indians. Congrats India on crossing 100 crore vaccinations. Gratitude to our doctors, nurses and all those who worked to achieve this feat,”  he tweeted Wrote on it.

According to data from the CoWIN portal at 10:50 pm, the total dose of vaccine administered in the country on Wednesday exceeded 99.7 crore doses, of which about 75% of adults received the first dose and about 31% of adults received two doses. Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandavia called on all those who are eligible to be vaccinated and contribute to the “historical” journey. At that time, he will release a song by singer Kailash Kher and an audiovisual movie in the Red Fort.
