At this rate, it will take the government at least one more year to vaccinate 70% of its population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot said that the state government had to move the Supreme Court when the union government didn\u2019t agree to provide free vaccines for the 18-45 age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA survey showed that only 10% of the population in Rajasthan refused to get vaccinated. This is up to 30% in many other states. The people are willing to be vaccinated as soon as possible, but we can\u2019t push the number without getting an adequate supply of vaccines from the central government,\u201d said Gehlot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gehlot held a video conferencing with public representatives at block and panchayat level on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly 65% of people in the 60+ age group have been vaccinated.
