Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an interview spoke about how India's vaccination drive could shape up. He said that the distribution process would involve over 28,000 cold chain points, as well as a digital platform to enrol, track and reach out to beneficiaries. PM Modi also assured that when the coronavirus vaccine is made available, no one would be left behind and everyone would be vaccinated.
"I would like to assure the nation that, as and when a vaccine becomes available, everyone will be vaccinated. None will be left behind. Of course, initially we may focus on protecting the most vulnerable and the frontline workers," he said in an interview to The Economic Times.
He said that a National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration has been formed to oversee coronavirus vaccine development. PM Modi, however, alerted citizens that the trials are still on and experts are yet to figure out what kind of dosage would be required per person, the periodicity or how it will be administered.
