New Delhi, Jan 5 (IANS): The Union Health Ministry on Tuesday said that it is prepared to roll out the coronavirus vaccine by January 13, paving way for mass vaccination drive in the country.

"We are prepared to roll out Covid-19 vaccines within 10 days of granting emergency use authorisation date, based on dry run feedback," said Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan at a press conference. Approval to two vaccines was given on January 3.

The Drug Controller General of India had, on Sunday, announced approvals to two vaccine - Oxford-AstraZeneca's Covishield manufactured by Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech's Covaxin - against coronavirus infection - for restricted emergency use.

The announcement is a major relief for India which has the second highest number of infections in the world, after the US.

The vaccine will be first offered to one crore healthcare workers, along with two crore frontline and essential workers and 27 crore elderly, mostly above the age of 50 years with co-morbidities.

On Saturday, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan had announced that one crore healthcare workers, along with two crore frontline will get the vaccine for free.

    "We are prepared to roll out Covid-19 vaccines within 10 days of granting emergency use authorisation date, based on dry run feedback,"....I don't think that there is an emergency now at this moment of time (Yes six months back it was). Let the government do the stage 3 trials first (If they are short of volunteers, then let the politicians and their believers can opt first). But never roll out the vaccine without following required procedures.

    Are we Indians falling prey to this globalists and communist chinese virus and vaccination propaganda and plan is the question? Specially with these hurriedly, short term tested, fast track authorised vaccines? Whether vaccinated people are able to survive future new viruses or viral diseases is another question? As one cannot trust these communist chinese and globalists

    Why in UK there a second corona variant ? As there are lot of left leaning globalist, one world medical leaders who mislead their political leaders. This not only in UK, but in US and Brazil also. Since rest of europe, americas including canada mostly run by left leaning coalition or democrat governments, almost like under communist control.

    These Globalists and communists chinese target these (UK, US...)countries and indirectly force this type of stringent measures like lockdowns, vaccinations...through these leaders so rest of the world would fall prey to their propaganda or evil agenda. Aim of these globalist and communists chinese finally to control and rule the whole world, same time reducing the population for better control through these Viruses and Vaccines.

    Also Globalists and Communists seems targeting specially elderly so that youngsters, tech savvy can easily be brainwashed and controlled through hitech nano particles vaccines for current or future variants, make them (their) robots or transhumans. With AI, 5G, nano, bio, luciferase and advanced surveillance technology everything is possible in this age.

    Not just roll out, administer it to top personalities, starting from the President, PM, HM, DM and the rest of the political leaders. Stay alive for72 hours, and then administer it to the public.

    Same one, this time no 'Haathi ke do tarah ke daant - ek dikhaane ka, ek khaane ka'

    Agree ??
