Homeless in India Seek Vaccine on Priority to Get Rid of Untouchable Tag Amid COVID-19 Pandemic © Sputnik / Deexa Khanduri Subscribe Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/india/202101211081825846-homeless-in-india-seeks-vaccine-on-priority-to-get-rid-of-untouchable-tag-amid-covid-19-pandemic/ Earlier this month, India kicked-off its COVID vaccination drive. An estimated 300 million healthcare and frontline workers will be inoculated in order of priority, followed by those above 50 and under 50 with comorbidities. As social stigma has stung the homeless hardest in India, thousands are eagerly awaiting the free vaccination to reach them, so that they can reintegrate into society.
