So far, 66.76 lakh vaccine doses have been distributed in the country. Of these, 32 lakh people were given the first dose and 29.8 lakh people the second dose. The remaining five million doses were given as booster doses. At least 17,70,692 Omanis and 14,20,950 foreigners have taken at least one dose of the vaccine in the country.
