IN-DEPTH PM TAKES CHARGE OF COVID-19 SITUATION s the race for a vaccine to fight the coro- navirus enters the final lap sending hopes of a cure soaring, Prime Minister A Narendra Modi made a few things clear to the chief ministers of several states in a video conference on Tuesday. The important point made by the prime minister was that as of now he had no idea about the vaccine’s price (an expensive vaccine may be unaffordable for the masses) or how many doses would be required to be administered for developing antibodies. The other issue concerning the vaccines has been about its distribution. Who should be vacci- nated first, frontline warriors like doctors and HONOUR other medical staff or senior citizens and others in the more vulnerable category? According to Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Ru- pani, Mr. Modi outlined a plan as per which the vac- cine will be given to frontline health workers, who number around one crore in the first stage. In the second stage, it will be given to police personnel and THY sanitary workers and those above 50 years of age will be covered in the third stage. People with co- morbidity will get the vaccine in the fourth stage. The prime minister called the vaccination pro- gramme a national commitment and urged the states to send a detailed action plan explaining how the vaccine will reach the lowest denominator.
