The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 22 Apr 2021India’s vaccination drive will undergo a radical change come May 1. The pool of those eligible will shoot up to some 900 million persons, and procurement of vaccines will be decentralised. Sound planning is required to maximise the impact, as vaccines go into arms as and when they arrive – prioritise most vulnerable areas and segments of the population and de-prioritise those who are sero-positive for Covid.
This will call for coordination by a central body, and the national task force suggests itself. Given that demand will outstrip supply for some time, and to avoid state governments competing with other state governments to nab a bigger share of the supply, it is advisable to have some guidelines for the pricing and allocation of vaccines that are not meant for central procurement.
