As of October 2021, more than 2 billion doses of the vaccine have been administered around the world, saving millions of lives. She has been awarded the People of the Year Award 2021 in the category “Scientific Breakthrough” by Metro TV. This is an outstanding achievement in today’s competitive environment.
