So far for the second dose is concerned, the state has achieved 75 per cent target and 100 per cent vaccination for eligible population will be achieved by November 30. I am confident that the nation will come out of the COVID crisis soon and lead a normal life." He said that Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya is scheduled to visit Shimla on December 4 and by that period the state would have achieved the 100 per cent vaccination target for both doses.
