Stop these wasteful exports and divert the jabs to vaccinate our younger population who cannot isolate themselves.
We dont have enough to go around, why else is vaccination not opened up for all.
SC is hearing pleas to vaccinate all legal professionals irrespective of age, which will be highly discriminatory against other citizens.
We are on the cusp of a second wave and atleast now baba must stop preening himself in front of the mirror.
vaccines are a very tricky subject, there is no other vaccine that has been approved so fast in human history. the reason vaccines take years and years in normal circumstances for approval is because they want to sure that there is absolutely no negative side effects in general population.

This is not a political decision it’s a scientific decision, I would prefer they employ abundance of caution rather than jumping the gun and opening the flood gates for vaccination.

I agree a radical new tech vax like pfizer's would have taken many years to see the light of day were it not for the current pandemic, but are you suggesting its OK to vaccinate > 60 years and not youngsters due to the 'technical' risk involved? If the risk is acceptable for those >60 seniors, it should be even more acceptable for all other adults, if scientists certify it so.

So i still say, stop exports and use the available jabs to vaccinate our vast working class population, else it's impossible to prevent subsequent waves.

Why India should roll out Covid-19 vaccine in the open market and ramp up its commercial export

https://economictimes.indiatimes.co...ofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst

"India has so far administered 1.9 crore Covid-19 vaccine doses, covering about 1.4% of its population, as against 34% in the UK and 26% in the US. Even China, the world’s most populous country, has vaccinated 3.8% of its population as on March 6, according to Bloomberg’s Covid-19 tracker."

Private sector lobbies with govt to allow covid vaccine sale in open market


"The private sector is lobbying with the government to allow covid-19 vaccine sale in open market, with price regulation. The rationale being offered is the slow rate of vaccination in India."

Public safety concerns: Centre reveals why it opted for phased Covid vaccination in SC affidavit


"there are only two vaccine manufacturers in India "
"shortage of enough trained personnel to administer"
"would lead to crowding and public safety concerns "
"this sort of commotion could to violation of social distancing norms "


silly excuses.

since when are pvt hospitals a public safety concern and personnel there not trained sufficiently to vaccinate?

Politics to defame UK vaccine? Likely Brexit angle.


COVID-19 vaccination: At current rate, India will take 12.6 years to vaccinate 70% population


:shock:
Faulty calculation, for sensational headline.

The second does cannot be given before 28 days or so due to medical reasons. It's not due to limitation of vaccines. For most, it would have been 28 days since they took the first dose.

Also why do you need to vaccinate people below 18 when they are not at risk immediately? That can be a yearly exercise for all those turning adults.

Lastly, this does not factor in ramping up of rate of vaccination. The government websites has reasonable estimates.

With Covid-19 cases on the rise, demand to allow vaccine for all grows


"Those between 18 and 40 years of age step out the most and are at greater risk of catching the virus. While it is a good step to inoculate the 45-59-year bracket and senior citizens, given they are more likely to develop complications from the disease, it is equally important to vaccinate those who are at high risk of infection to halt the transmission." - Dr. Rahul Pandit, director-critical care at Fortis Hospitals, Mumbai and member of MH's Covid taskforce.

Stop wasteful exports NOW.

Was today in the Hindu too .
Its just a measure to discredit effectiveness of foreign made covid vaccines and to show to the world that , china doesn't believe in any vaccine other than its own .

They are best at hypocricy and double speak


Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian on Monday reiterated China's opposition to vaccine nationalism, saying that a good vaccine, if proven safe and effective, can serve mankind no matter which country it is from.

The new https://dashboard.cow.gov.in is excellent, now even shows hospitalwise vaccination in your town/city. Till yesterday evening 9 PM though, those in my vicinity had hardly jabbed 19-20 people per site, which means 2nd doses were being given to those who were eligible, and first were not being administered.
The pace of vaccination is *EXTREMELY SLOW* here in Maharashtra, not sure if its a state subject or a central one. 2 of my college friends have their parents admitted to hospitals due to covid after a year of taking care and trying to stay safe.
