So far, Punjab has administered the first dose of Covid shots to 2,184 people between the age group of 18 to 44 years. The adult vaccination drive began on May 1.

While Chhattisgarh has recorded only 1,026 first dose vaccinated people, Gujarat is the leading performer with 2,240,90 in the first shot category. Among the 12 states, Punjab and Chhattisgarh are laggards.

Following Gujarat is Maharashtra—which has covered 21,514,5 people—followed by Delhi with 183498, Haryana with 168367, Uttar Pradesh with 86419, Odisha with 28163, Jammu and Kashmir with 21249, Tamil Nadu with 8418, Karnataka with 7067, Punjab 2184 and Chhattisgarh 1026.

Cumulatively, so far, 16.48 crore vaccine doses have been given.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
