China is working at full throttle to vaccinate its people against COVID-19, as over 400 million doses had been administered as of Sunday, just nine days after the figure surpassed 300 million doses.
It took 17 days for the COVID-19 vaccines administered on the Chinese mainland to exceed 300 million doses from 200 million doses, and 26 days from 100 million doses to 200 million doses, according to daily updates by the National Health Commission.
The accelerated mass vaccination drive has been partially spurred by the latest COVID-19 resurgence in east China's Anhui Province and northeast China's Liaoning Province, which have seen 16 confirmed locally transmitted cases in total as of Sunday evening.
