On September 17, the prime minister's 71st birthday, a record 2.5 crore <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/on-pm-modi-s-bday-india-administers-over-1-cr-daily-covid-19-vaccinations-till-1-30pm-today-health-ministry-23192764" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vaccine doses </a>were administered in the country.
