India is setto receive 3 to 4 million doses of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, donated throughCovax/ WHO in August. People who receive these vaccines are up to 91% lesslikely to be infected according to a US study.
For whom arethese vaccines? There are some very vulnerable people like cancer patients,etc. There are people who were advised by GMC not to take the vaccine becausethey get under the skin clots with slight impact. Does the Expert Committee inGoa, have a ready list of such people and have they sent it to the Centre? Inthat case, what is Goa’s share of these vaccines? Or will it be like in thecase of oxygen shortages in Goa: 5 hours after the High Court directed the governmentto obtain oxygen from the Centre, Minister Gadkari said that: seeing thesituation in Goa regarding oxygen shortages, a tanker will be sent to Goa!
