Court and COVID policy
The Supreme Court’s rap on the Government’s knuckles over its confused vaccine policy is spot on (Inside pages, “Policy should be clear, flexible: SC”, June 1). With GDP contracting due to the pandemic, the Government will do well to quickly procure vaccines and for free. Immunisation in the rural areas has to be ramped up quickly without having to register on CoWIN which may not be feasible due to the digital divide (Inside pages, June 1). Finally, all talk about ‘vaccine interchangeability’ and single-dose efficacy is superfluous till the vaccine shortage issue is addressed and everyone above 18 is immunised quickly.
