News 18  

On the occasion of the celebration of 75 years of India’s Independence, Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Government of India under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi was able to inoculate over a billion people with more than 217 crore vaccination doses across different age groups, diverse communities and regions within the span of 18 months after the general availability of vaccines. Despite various hurdles and teething troubles, as well as experiments that did not get sufficient traction, the way India handled its covid vaccination is positive learning in itself. The vaccine was made available across the country; but for a nation to deliver at such a mass scale and with complicated logistics, the constraints and challenges included: Availability and cost of the vaccine Access to vaccination facility Access to booking a slot To maintain their efficacy, the vaccines need cold storage right from the production unit until the time that the actual vaccination that the patient is administered. Cluster Vaccination Strategy Division of all villages into three categories based on first dose vaccination levels Honouring COVID secure villages and honouring headmen ASHA and Aanganwadi workers visited villages to identify people left out of the campaign Vaccination4Everyone Organised webinars for the community to talk and discuss their concerns with the doctors Popularised Social Media Campaigns relating to vaccination benefits.
