New Delhi, Jan 15 (efe-epa).- India will begin on Saturday the world’s largest inoculation drive to offer Covid-19 vaccine shots to 1.35 billion people in a campaign beset with logistic challenges, a fragile healthcare system, and skepticism over a homegrown immunogen.
The pandemic tested the Indian authorities from the outset when on Mar.25 it imposed the largest confinement of people in history.
Now comes the immunization campaign that follows a large-scale health operation carried out some 20 years ago when it launched a polio campaign to vaccinate some 100 million children under the age of three in a day.
