The government of Bhutan has said that it has given 60 percent of its entire population a first jab against coronavirus in record time.

People of Bhutan are being vaccinated the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine donated by India.
The swift vaccination drive has put Bhutan far ahead other leading nations in reaching the 60 percent mark.
