India's COVID-19 Vaccination Drive

[Sushubh]

Private hospitals be like

Won't be surprised if government buys a fixed number of doses irrespective of how many people get the vaccine.

Privatise the profits, socialize the losses

Free COVID-19 booster for all aimed at raising vaccine coverage, using doses nearing expiry

The Union health ministry holds a meeting with states on July 14 to review the status of COVID-19 vaccination and offer free boosters to all adults in a mission mode

Had to wait for like 2 hours for first. Was 7th in line.

Waited 15 mins for second. Was 5th in line.

Got booster today in 5 mins. Was the first. Guess nobody wants free doses which are perhaps near expiry date

Can we see the expiry date on the bottle and decide whether to take or not?

 

[honey01]

They register you first. And I got 'sucess' sms even before they opened the bottle.

This time there was no token system cause of no crowd. They might not show you the bottle beforehand. But I guess one may elope once you recieve that sms lol.

Everyone is getting natural booster , no need to take a vaccine.

Natural immunity may not be effective against new strains that appear left, right and centre.

 

[xyx2000]

You are getting immunity from new variants, vaccines are still based on old variants.
