Answer 1

Answer:

India’s National COVID Vaccination Program is built on scientific and

epidemiological evidence, WHO guidelines and global best practices. Anchored

in systematic end-to-end planning, it is implemented through effective and

efficient participation of States/UTs and the people at large.

Government of India’s commitment to the vaccination program has been

unwavering and proactive from the beginning, from strengthening Research and

Development capacity, to encouraging and enabling manufacturing and

vaccinating each and every adult Indian safely, as fast as possible.

For the COVID vaccination program, Government of India initiated early and

proactive steps as far back as April 2020:

 “Task Force for Focused Research on Corona Vaccine” (constituted in April

2020), to encourage domestic R&D of Drugs, Diagnostics and Vaccines,

headed by Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India.

 “National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19”

(NEGVAC), (constituted in August 2020), to formulate a comprehensive

action plan for vaccine administration, co-chaired by Member (Health)

NITI Aayog and Union Health Secretary.

 “Empowered Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19”

(constituted in January 2021), to facilitate optimal utilization of

technology to make COVID vaccination all inclusive, transparent, simple

and scalable, headed by CEO, National Health Authority.

India’s COVID vaccination program incorporates recommendations of the

foremost experts in the field of immunization, public health, disease control and

information technology. Based on scientific and epidemiological evidence, the

programme gives priority to strengthening the country’s healthcare system by

protecting the professionals, health and frontline workers, manning it, as well

as protecting the most vulnerable population groups.

COVID vaccination in the country commenced with vaccination to all Health Care

Workers. The program was expanded with time to include vaccination of Front

Line Workers, citizens more than 60 years of age, citizens more than 45 years of

age and eventually citizens more than 18 years of age.
