Highlights Of #VaccinateIndia Telethon: An Initiative To Encourage Vaccination Against COVID-19
New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) in partnership with Google has initiated the #VaccinateIndia campaign. The aim of the campaign is to empower people with the right information about vaccines, their safety and efficacy.
Dr Randeep Guleria, Director, AIIMS said on the #VaccinateIndia telethon that India needs to develop a multi-pronged vaccination strategy
Vaccination is one of the most important weapons that we have in the fight against COVID-19. It will pay dividends in long run. Along with this, COVID appropriate behaviour is needed. We need to focus first on high-risk group such as senior citizens, comorbid people. Over a period of time, when we have enough doses then try and vaccinate as many people as possible.
The most important thing is to touch 10 million doses a day and for that everyone - government and manufacturers need to come together. We have to look at how to support manufacturers with resources and funding so that they can quickly ramp up production and provide more doses.
