A medical team that was in Malikhedi village of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, to create awareness about Covid-19 vaccination was attacked. One person has been injured after being hit on the head.

Police say that some villagers verbally abused them and hit the husband of the Asst Secretary on the head. A FIR has been registered against four people. 

The victim, Shakeel Mohd Qureshi, says, "We went there to create awareness and vaccinate people but they didn't want to get vaccinated. We thought we will go to them and talk to them but some people came there along with a crowd and one man hit me on the head with a stick. They were 50 in number."

More than 1.80 crore COVID-19 vaccine doses are still available with the states and UTs and they will receive over 48 lakh doses in the next three days, the Union Health Ministry said on Monday.

The Centre has so far provided, both through the free of cost category and through direct state procurement category, more than 21.80 crore vaccine doses to states and UTs.
