Both the state and also the centre is trying to cover the population with the vaccine in different methods. But the common man is still in trouble. The domestic servants who move from one home to the other on a daily basis are not covered.
Most of the domestic servants are ladies and they are not being allowed for work by the owners because of Corona. There is no priority for them when it comes to vaccination.
The Government must identify them and get them vaccinated so that they can go for domestic work.
The total current production capabilities of Bharat Biotech & Serum Institute of India as of May 2020 is at approximately 10 Cr doses per month. To cover the huge percentage of the 18-45 age group which is nearly 80 Cr with two doses is not easy.
When the States reach out to vaccine manufacturers, they are clearly saying they would rather deal with one entity; the Government of India, who unfortunately seems to have no urgency to go for global procurement and supply to all Indian States.
Minister KTR from Telangna has suggested to the centre that they must import the medicine to the extent possible to bridge the gap of deficiency.
Unfortunately, all their production is being closely monitored by Govt of India who is taking 85% of production. In the remaining 15% we have to compete with other states & hospitals who buy at three times the rate.
So both the state and also the centre will fail in covering the population by vaccination.
