"First dose vaccination is around 94-95 per cent (completed). We'll complete the first dose this month... and go from village to village to verify whether 100 per cent vaccination has been done," said Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
"If we complete the first dose this month, we will complete the second dose in February," he added.
