Several vaccines are in final stage of trial. Few vaccines are expected by early 2021.
Today’s high-level meet was aimed at devising post Vaccine development strategy. Modi govt has already formed a task force for administering vaccine to a large population by mid 2021, while keeping health workers and frontline warriors on priority.
“Reviewed various issues like prioritisation of population groups, reaching out to HCWs, cold-chain Infrastructure augmentation, adding vaccinators and tech platform for vaccine roll-out,” PM Modi tweeted.
