Who will be inoculated first in India? As we inch closer to the vaccine roll-out, here s a look at how the authorities will tackle the challenge of laying out the order in which different groups of people get inoculated. The Centre has set up National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration, or NEGVAC, to come up with a plan of attack to identify priority groups across states. NEGVAC will decide on the order in which the states get the vaccine, the number of doses, and which groups get it first within the states. Based on the standard operating procedures released by the government, in the first phase, the vaccine will be administered to: People above 50 years of age, people above and below 50 years of age, suffering from co-morbidities, healthcare and frontline workers.
