4th round of national sero-survey for #COVID19 - Overall sero-prevalence is 67.6% in the entire population
Amongst the adults in the survey, 62.2% people were not vaccinated, while 24.8% had taken single dose of vaccine and 13% were fully vaccinated - DG @ICMRDELHI

Two third of the general population had SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. A third of population did not have antibodies (Still ~ 40 crores vulnerable)
States/districts/areas without antibodies run the risk of infection waves
