Various Asian Cities, Aug 6 (EFE/EPA).-A number of countries in South and Southeast Asia have ramped up vaccination drives against Covid-19 after the region was hit by devastating waves of the pandemic in recent months, in which hundreds of thousands deaths were reported and the medical infrastructure was unable to handle the massive caseload. The World Health Organization said in a press release on Friday that more than half a billion vaccine doses had been administered in Southeast Asia as more doses had become available and governments had scaled up efforts amid recurring outbreaks. “Countries across the Region are making unprecedented efforts to reach more and more people with life-saving COVID-19 vaccines demonstrating their commitment to contain the pandemic at the earliest," Poonam Khetrapal Singh, the regional director of WHO for Southeast Asia, said in a statement.
