Vaccine Overdrive: How Prepared Are We?
India has administered around 24.6 crore vaccine doses so far, but, given the country's population, that translates into a little over three per cent of people having been inoculated. Experts have warned that vaccinating people, quickly, will be key to protecting populations against a third or any future waves of infection. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the Centre would provide vaccines free of charge to all above 18 from June 21 and would take back control of vaccination from states, reversing a policy change that was enforced just about a month ago. On The Big Fight we ask, as we are inching towards June 21, how prepared are we to give the free vaccines for all announcement of PM Modi.
