Vaccinations, testing in India as infections decrease

On Wednesday India reported more coronavirus deaths in a single day than any other country at any time during the pandemic, while infections continued to spread through vast rural areas with weak health systems. The Health Ministry reported a record 4,529 deaths in the past 24 hours.

Experts say new infections in India may finally be slowing. But deaths have continued to rise and hospitals are still crowded with patients. India's vaccination drive is also faltering just at the time when it is needed the most. The number of daily administered doses has fallen by about half over the last six weeks. Many states say they don't have enough vaccines to administer.
