ABOUT THE ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE
With the Covid – 19 pandemic taking toll on human life all over the world, the foremost concern has been the prevention of its spread. Every country has sought the prevention of this deadly virus through vaccination, and this seems like the biggest vaccine campaign in the global history.
India has become the second worst hit country by Covid and as another wave of covid unfolds, the only possible way to cut off the chain of transmission is to focus on full vaccination accompanied by strict adherence to social distancing measures. The Indian Government has set an ambitious goal of vaccinating the huge population of the country, beginning with the healthcare and frontline workers and now opening up vaccination for all adults. This vaccine policy should have adequate allowance for ground realities, the absence of which is leading to a faltering vaccination drive.
The challenges to the vaccination drive include:
- Shortage of vaccines
- Difficulties in booking a slot at the CoWin portal
- Disinformation and myths surrounding vaccination
- Lack of reach to remote area
- Vaccine inequity for those without the access to smartphones or internet
All these issues require the urgent attention of those who are at the highest levels of policymaking and implementation. As young, vigilant citizens of the country it is our responsibility to render all possible support. These trying times require us to give suggestions to the best of our knowledge and experience to ensure that it somewhere makes a difference. An efficient public policy requires highest level of public participation and community consensus. Sthaapna, therefore, has organized this Roundtable Discussion where all the participants would keep forward their ideas on ensuring an efficient and inclusive vaccination drive in the country.
