While applauding the yeoman effort made by the various multinational and national companies for having spared no effort to develop vaccines in very fast time frame, to be fair to everyone, it would be suggested that vaccines with greater percentage of efficacy, even if costlier should be administered to the most vulnerable sections based on their health conditions.
The prime reason for vaccination drive is to steadily stem the spread of the coronavirus and thus achieve herd immunity, most important to stop the wider spread of Covid-19.
Would it not be fair to give those over 60s, who largely are more susceptible, vaccines that are more efficacious to in a better manner protect them?
Would younger and those with greater degree of immunity voluntarily accept to be vaccinated with a vaccine having a lesser degree of effectiveness, but still be reasonably protected?
Prudent averaging out of entire process of vaccination would be a better way forward to try to achieve faster results in curbing Covid-19, leading to its total eradication.
