The COVID-19 vaccine prevented a potential death of more than Rs 420,000 in India in 2021.
Globally, mathematical modeling studies have shown that the COVID-19 vaccine reduces the number of potential deaths during a pandemic by about 20 million, or more than half, in the first year after its implementation.

In this study, an additional 5,99,300 lives could have been saved if the World Health Organization’s goal of inoculating 40% of each country’s population more than once by the end of 2021 was met. I presume.
This study estimated the number of deaths prevented between December 8, 2020 and December 8, 2021. This reflects the first year the vaccine was distributed.
