Chandigarh, Sep 2 (IANS) In view of maximum people waiting to receive the second dose of vaccination, the Punjab government has earmarked every Sunday for this at all Covid vaccination centres.

Sidhu informed that by August 31, 1,36,70,847 doses have been administered and out of these 32,89,210 have received both doses of vaccine and 1,03,81,637 have received the first dose.
